Rx: For the one who feels they've lost their spark

to the ones who feel they have lost their spark in trauma

The Ember That Stays

You think the fire has gone out.
You are wrong.

Beneath the ash,
beneath the long quiet,
a small orange persistence
breathes without your permission.

It does not need you to believe in it.
It only needs you
to not walk away.

Dosage: Read when you feel like giving up. Repeat until warmth returns.
Refills: Unlimited. See you next Tuesday.
