Embers: a poem for the times in which we live

in poetry •  5 years ago 

There was darkness,

and then a light.

They never told,

When the light guttered and died.

We live in the embers now

Blinded by dying smoke

Of an extinguished flame

    And like the Phoenix, we shall rise from the ashes....stronger, more resilient and more prepared
