Dogged

No flame is so hot
that should it ever be tested
with wind, water, and time,
it would not threaten to flicker
and go out;
but so long as there is spark
within the embers drowned,
there always will be life,
and promise to rebound.

This poem really does have a natural flow to it. I have zero constructive criticism as everything works harmoniously together. "within the embers drowned" is a great line!!

Thank you, as always! Never are you unjust in your criticisms of my poetry. I trust your opinion and hold it quite highly.

I really love that line as well (:
