An inconvenient flame

Ember Amatus

An orphaned girl, despising the world of its control. Yearning for love from a young age. Only ever wanting affection, warmth, and a feeling of home that her soul recognizes as love.

Will the bird find its freedom out of the cage?

Will it sing the Song of Songs it dreams of?

Or will she continue to navigate through life feeling like an inconvenient soul of flames..

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
