Ember

From a mere ember

the amber ignites



 

From a mere gust

The speckles of amber spread




From a mere kindle

The flock of amber glows

From a mere day

The hues of amber expand
 

From a mere note

The shades of amber whistle
 

From one mere voice

A world of color sings

From a mere gasp

The tones of amber go silent

From an ember snuffed out

The skeletal arms arrive

From the vast white

A piercing song is heard
