Embers

Tiny embers
Not a spark
Smoldering gently in the dark
Never again to burst into flame
Never again to be the same
A match unlit
Tells no tales
No story to be written
No future to be told
Embers burn, a little fire
Waiting forevermore
A rock rolls by
Two by two
Embers scream
A little light
Just enough to get us through the night
