Embers

Sometimes you soar 

Like a bird on bright sunny days 

Sometimes you crack 

Like dried paint on my aging walls 

Sometimes you're elusive

Like fireflies in dark nights

Sometimes you shine

Even through the grey clouds 

Sometimes you dry up

Parched than the most arid desserts 

Sometimes you drain

Seeping through the pores of my being 

Sometimes you hide

In the corners that seem hard to find 

But you're always infinite

Like the expanse of the universe 

You ask nothing in return

Hope..it's your flame that always burns.
