A SPARK


Do you believe
that a spark
can grow to be a flame
then a roaring fire?
If you believe that
then you can believe
that we will love
together, sometime.
For in my heart
there remains a spark of love
it needs only for you to fan it
to feed it with your love
for it to grow large again
like it once was,
before it began to die out
because of neglect.
Someone forgot to keep the fire going
forgot that a fire must be fed
in order to keep it burning,
and so it died to a spark.
But still
there remains
a spark.
