Flames rise
Words ignite
Smoke unwinds
Carrying dreams
Flicker, soft, yet bold
Stories etched
Life burns bright
Traces linger
Ashes whisper
From fire’s end
Poetry—
Proof remaining in its wake
Afterword: This poem was inspired by this quote from Leonard Cohen:
Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
