E as in Ellipsis

A spark does not always need to catch.

A kindling does not always need to alight.

The sustained purr of coals can be enough.


.

To get coals you must burn a spark.

It was a fast spark,

But a slow burn.


..

The flames were exciting,

With a nervous flicker.

It had not decided between a roaring fire,

Or a whispering ember.


...

The oxygen ran low,

But at an ember the level balanced.

Even without proper conditions,

The fire within stayed present.


Hot coals:

Touch do not disturb.

Walk do not run..

Appreciate do not cover...
