embers and ash

Writer: payfayepayfaye

this love is delighted by our own embers

remember we are

honest as a child soothed in arms of mother

hunger before a plate of food

a perceptive poet laureate

wrapped in warm cotton washed a thousand times

bedding down with suede

massaging willow fur

a bird calling to the horizon

whistling meaning

taking measure as

the song of crickets courting the night

so woven into the darkness that we are the sound of twilight

remember that this love is ancient

like a lost nation rediscovered

always holding curiosities

a sanctuary withstanding

this home of our heart

is holding the fire with flickering flames

we are fueled by the enchantment

which transforms all substance

to ash glowing
