Burning Embers and the Sun



Many say burning embers are like the sun, shining bright with warming light. But those burning embers have never been like the sun. The burning embers can grow with the right fuel. Warming the world with its beauty, dancing about like flower in a wind filled meadow. But these same embers could find a different ending. One where their beautiful dance never begins and the embers turn to ash in the wind and warmth will never be found within. Only black ash is left where the embers could have grown to make a beautiful warming dance. While the sun shines on the world not needing fuel to burn so bright with warming light. However the sun always dances alone in the sky. For it never will need somwthing to fuel its beautiful warming light. For the sun will always be shining upon this world with beautiful warming light. For now can't you see why the sun and burning embers are not the same as you say.
