Blow gently into the embers
Of
Your dreams.
So the quiet flames
Of what you’d always wished
And perhaps did not know how
To do
Can lick them into hope
Anew.

That’s a cool poem. Loved the comparison of dreams to embers that could be breathed into lively flames of renewed hope.

Thank you! I’m so glad it spoke to you. I sometimes think of hopes this way — banked someplace safe, kept warm, at the ready to be enlivened into full fledged flames. 🙂
