A half dozen ashes blink this morning,
forlorn remnants of flames forgotten
and idled by the laying of much wood,
dead like lukewarm love iced cold and cremated by idols.
I lay kindling on the altar
and strike a match.

In the stillness,

Ooo…this is sooooo good, my sweet friend! I so love your heart and your words. May the Lord continue to bless all your writing for Him! Love you!
Love to you, dear Lynn.
Ah! ” It only takes a spark to get a fire going” comes to mind. I love the image of ashes and the life which will again rise from them.
Blessings!
… and soon all those around will warm up in the glowing… Now you have me singing, Martha. 😉
