Ashes Don’t Mean the Fire Is Gone

I stared into the coals after the storm, Thought every good thing I had was gone. But in the hush where the smoke moves slow, I felt a little heat still hold.

Ashes don’t mean the fire is gone, Sometimes it sleeps till the light comes on. Breathe a little mercy, sing a little song— Ashes don’t mean the fire is gone.

I carried nights that froze my hands, Lost my voice in shifting sand. But one small spark beneath the gray Told my bones, “You’re still okay.”

Ashes don’t mean the fire is gone, Sometimes it hides just to burn more strong. Give it a moment, let the dawn lean on— Ashes don’t mean the fire is gone.

(Wordless hum like a low choir, pulsing with the backbeat)

If love went quiet, it’s not dead, It might be healing what we said. Cup your hands around what’s warm, Let it teach your heart to form.
