Ember

Here I lie
Awake and dead,
For as I linger
In dormant dread

I search for light
That was once there
But disappeared
Within my hair

Has it returned?
Seems I’m too far
To reach for the
eternal star

That, washed up on the rocky tide,
Seems to ’ve fizzled out and died…
Save for an ember, glowing bright,
As He provides eternal light.
