Embers
Written in 1983.
Shiny orange

Are you Fire?
Are you Ice?
Or just an ember
of the past?

Is There a Reason?
Written in 1983. Why are we all different? Is it because the flowers are so? Is it because the animals are so? Or is it because there is a lesson to learn? It would be so simple to be all of one colour, all of one faith, and all of one point of view. Are…
