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...
