The Fire Ignites...a short poem




These kids sing love songs 
like they've never known her
been there, done that, lost irreparably
Inspirational and disheartening
   all at once
Seeing the breath in the air
   as little girls belt out their dreams
   to an enraptured crowd
Rare and perfect
This story stage is magical
These moments, unique
  as the sunset that opened for them
Out here everything is still possible
Savor it till the last flickering ember
