creation by association
candles burn where I am not
reminding me what may have been
in my little world it is quite dark
at times taking on many shapes
other times simply murmuring
I reach out and bring in pieces
from out of nowhere
meld them together in my palms
first into a ball and
then into whatever fascinations
may gradually evolve
inside each molded piece
an ember burns
invisible to the naked eye
I’ve no idea how many weeks
may pass before revealing themselves
perhaps like a seedling
breaking the surface
or a renegade meteor
breaching an otherwise impregnable sky

I love the ending, especially:
“perhaps like a seedling
breaking the surface
or a renegade meteor
breaching an otherwise impregnable sky”
