Night smothered your outline
Breath thinned inside your chest
A hidden ember quivered
A pulse denied arrest
Cold pressed against your memory
Shadows claimed every part
A spark within the silence
Lit fire through your heart
Glow widened through the blackness
Heat softened rigid bone
A dawn announced its presence
From darkness overthrown
Carry this rare ignition
Let radiance claim its harness
Great fire reveals its origin
In moments built from darkness
