I found this in my drafts on my gmail.   A while back I was utilizing a writing prompt website to help me with topics to write about.  Not sure what the prompt was with this, but this is what was there.  It is from October 27th, 2008.

 

We are learning to make a fire.

Huddled together for warmth
We alone cannot feel.
Hushed voices and concentration
Bodies longing to be whole again.
Looming over this dry coal
Hoping to see a spark
Anything to take away the darkness.
