Winter Writing Sanctuary, Spark 2.1, Exchanging Words, Spark 6

 

Light

If I’m careful,

I could let this

spark stay

alive. 

Flickering, 

a little, 

subsisting. 

Or, 

I could let it

go into

a blaze

and consume

the night. 

Does it depend

on my

caution

or careless-

ness, 

really?

Or am I

just shielding

my eyes

from what 

I am made

of? 

Light.
