like an ember

love is like an ember.
nestled in a pile of tinder
in your hand.
it can grow but
you have to bring it close
and breathe into it thoughtfully.
you watch it
because even a gentle breeze
can carry it away.
my love, don’t waste time
breathing oxygen into any thought or deed
that doesn’t make this fire grow.
