Ablaze

“Ablaze” by Russell Irwin

Just a breath,
a friction,
from these we all begin.
A flighty figment
feeling
rising from within.

And if our sparks connect,
bumping in the dark.
We ignite from passion;
we become a spark.

Bursting from our mothers,
glowing with her glee.
Our fragile light ignited,
our flighty flame burns free.

    Beautiful! Especially the first stanza. And I’m a big fan of the Sturgill Simpson song.

      Well, you simply have good taste with Sturgill, Bob. Thanks so much for the compliment. This poem pops back up with me, so it must have something good about it.
