A Gift of Age


Over the years, life has been shaped 

     and reshaped always 

with an ember of belief in myself. 


Although this ember so cooled 

      with life’s vagaries, 

it never became a blackened wick. 


Only when gently sheltered and, 

  with my soul’s breath, 

did it give birth to a tiny flame.




“No one’s ever completely broken. It’s just a matter of how much 

has to fall apart before the ember of life is exposed to air.”

~ Charles Eisenstein, author
