Ash

You poke the ashes hoping for some heat

Your eyes fixate on the gray

But there is no red

Consuming cold

These coals have long been dead

There's nothing here but the corpse of a fire

But I'll smile for you

If that will keep you warm

A wonderful piece. I love how this shows someone yearning for something warm, but he does not given it. So in the end he tries to smile to make it warm. That's truly amazing. Great job!
