Ashes Where Echoes Return

Starting a fire

You answer

Stirring a danger

You crave

Lost in the heat

Of a dancer

On a river of words

You save

To linger again

In shadows returned

On a current

No power can hold

Do we wander again

Where fire has burned

On the ashes

Of words so bold

Following your spark

I answer

Feeling the danger

You name

Caught in the shimmer

Of shadows

On the river of words

I tend the flame

To wander again

Where echoes return

Along the current

No power can bind

Do we linger again

Where warmth still glows

Through the ashes

Of whispers entwined

Your poem shows us readers how passion (symbolized by fire) interacts with the transient nature of experiences, suggesting that while moments fade, all their echoes and effects remain. Deep poem..
