Fanning The Flame

October 11, 2022

Being is to

becoming

As seedlings are

to blooms

Today as to

tomorrow

Midnight

unto noon

Sparks beget

a brilliance

As fans beget

the flame

Breath into

a sonnet

A child

aptly named

A thought

once spoken freely

The scent

of chosen prey

A smile

when returning

A love

—to give away

(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)
