Rising as Embers
A response in haiku
I came across this entry with some poignant lines I was drawn to, likely for the obvious connection I felt. It is written in such a poetic way and the response of the musical piece is beautiful.
After looking up the dictionary definition of what embers are, I came up with a few lines to share in response.
----
As hot as the fire
which created their ascent
dense, living fragments
radiating heat
glowing ash, smoldering fuel
rising as embers
exists within a fire
can remain after a fire
often precedes fire
space for air to flow
essential to circulate
between fuel and coals
rekindling ash
relighting a dying flame
rebuilding the fire

I love it! Thanks for posting your poetic lines. :-)
