Ember

There is an ember burning
Beneath the ash.
I feel it breaking.
A bit of warmth.
The cold took over
And a gust came through.
The fire went out
But the ember remains.
The glow in the darkness
Mirrors the sky.
Little reminders.
Messages too small to read.
The fire is out
But the world is branded.
That world is quiet
But not empty.
Time runs out
But the ember burns.
The ash is cold
But the ember burns.
No sign of fire
But the ember burns.
