Embers, Burning Together – v2

Alone dying, the heat, the light failing
embers, burning together, gathering, sharing
building on the heat, the passion, the belief, the faith
one to another, in community, together
glowing, a beacon, a message of love
sending forth, reaching outward
seeds scattered, stones thrown into a pond
ripples sent, cast outward, to unknown shores
burning together those who could not alone
in the seeds scattered, in the joining with others
rising like a phoenix, like life itself
stronger, brighter together,
the embers, burning within us
