|
||
|
||
*a million volts*
|
||
|
||
*for a split second*
|
||
|
||
If the spark lands just right
|
||
|
||
*it kindles a tiny flame*
|
||
|
||
Hot but flickering
|
||
|
||
Should you gentle cradle this flame
|
||
|
||
*unafraid of being burned*
|
||
|
||
It will resist when it would be doused
|
||
|
||
If you feed this flame
|
||
|
||
*it will grow explosively into a fire*
|
||
|
||
A conflagration that consumes and ignites
|
||
|
||
Should you survive the fire as it dies
|
||
|
||
*you will be left with smouldering embers*
|
||
|
||
Quieter and less ostentatious than the heartbeat spark, the jittering flame, the rumbling fire
|
||
|
||
Discreetly white hot
|
||
|
||
*a star core pouring lightness into the world*
|
||
