Don’t Tell Smokey

I learned from a talking bear that it only takes one cinder to ignite into a wildfire

So keep that in mind when you want to create your masterpiece

Every work of art came from a single brush stroke

Every prose came from an opening line

Every relationship came from a hello

Every death came from a life.

You won’t go anywhere, You won’t make anything

You won’t blaze

Until you let that first ember kindle.
