Don’t let
your spark
become a fuse
blowing up
the truth
Don’t let
the flame
become a blaze
burning down
your youth
Don’t be the
kindling
become the tree
that reaches
and extends
Don’t be
accused
of lighting the match
on what
— should never end

Kurt, this carries weight. The spark, the flame, the blaze...all stack like a litany, urging life over ruin. That turn...“don’t be the kindling, become the tree”...amen. Beautifully done, my friend…a vision of growth and preservation. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Very kind as always, thanks.
Very nice Kurt again the use of a double entendre in fire that burns things down and ignites things as as well. A wonderful use of meaning.
Thanks as always.
Most welcome Kurt
