Small flame, quiet hope.
🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔
Tiny star alight
Bright new glow now brings me forth
Autumn's glow wraps cold
🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔🪔
Flame flits in the eye
Rises graceful in the dark
Bends forth, limp and bows.

Nicely-written!
Love the title. Very creative. The choice of image was fantastic too. What caught my eye was the red among the shadow. Then that warm glow. Love the contrast between the quiet hope and the small flame. From tiny to bright and alight. That was satisfying to read. Oh the flame flits. That is very nice too. Love love love the format. You know how to get the eyes going down the screen. 🤗❤️
I could feel the autumn chill in my bones 🍂
