Burning Like Quote by S.G. Night
““A latent warmth flickers behind those golden, burning rings. The Cold struggles to squelch it, shrouding it with the frigid Night. It almost smothers it entirely. Almost. But I know it is still there. It is like the heat of an unassuming coal beneath a blanket of graying ash. It is hidden, but not extinguished. I can feel it. I can feel its gentle breath against my skin, like distant sunlight during newborn spring. I can hear it. I can hear it reaching to divide the curtains of shadow on his face, like the whispers of blossoms unfolding. I can see it. I can see it behind his fiery eyes, flickering like a starlight-dappled pool, dancing in and out of view. It is buried. Buried, but burning nonetheless. Buried but burning, like one last hope in my heart. One last Ember in the dark. -The Penitent God””
