Rekindling

SerenWise

You're rekindling a spark

That I had long thought dead,

The flames that flicker red

Like your hair, bright attest,

Still burn long in your breast.

Take a piece of that warmth

And with slow, careful steps,

Dip your hands into my chest

To place the guttering spark

In the worn hawthorn remnants

Of my slow beating heart.

    Compelling imagery in this emotive invite - - I love the calming effect of the metre you use to portray the thought of Rekindling - - good read Seren.

    what better way to awaken and rejoice in the warmth of a new day...

    Super words indeed my friend....
