BURN BRIGHTER LITTLE FLAME, NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE YOUR WARMING LOGS AND FLARING EMBERS, BURN BRIGHTER

you're like the background
noise that everyone hears
and yet doesn't care because
they're too busy with their own
lives. but there's always that
one who just sits down on
a lark bench just to listen
to the beautiful sounds of
the background noise,
appreciating the wondrous
peacefulness that rests over
them. you're a hearth, a home
that offers comfort to all, you've
never offered yourself to any
wandering godly hands, you've
always been there, the calming
median of the gods, the eldest sister
that watches over and tends to
the flames.

YES, YES, YES, YOUR FLAME IS GROWING, ITS WARMTH IS SPREADING, YOUR NIGHT IS BURNED AWAY

you are hestia, a
goddess overlooked,
the eldest born yet
treated like the little
sibling. yet you know
more than them all put
together.

YOU ARE HESTIA
