Tinder soul

Days seemed to become dim and mundane.

No tinder for kindle to what once was a flame.

The flint is wet, and my hands I cannot feel.

As the days are getting darker, my nerves are hard to steel.

It's been raining for days, and the whole pile is soaked,

Fuel that once flamed with ion now knows only smoke.

Still, I try to regain the spark that was once there,

Striking with steel until my hands bleed from the wear.

An ember springs forth, excitingly giving me hope,

Until it smothers once more, leaving me at the end of my rope.

So I grind my axe against the log, and I gather more of the shavings,

Hoping that this one lights, for the warmth from it might save me.
