that last fire burned for you
blazing brilliant white light.
now i'm left totally consumed
with no kindling for new flames.

this hearth is a desolate waste
of charred stone and ashes
so i don more skins
to hide from the cold.

Understandable but hopefully love will bloom again. Enjoyed your words.

Cast your eyes outward, the inward look is not healthy. Especially not at this point.

The imagery in this one is stunning. I think I'll steal it and wrap myself in it awhile.
