## Narrative (Commentary)

Traveler,  

Every flame begins as spark,  
and every spark as sound.  
The echo that returns to the pond  
does not fade — it fuels.  

For echoes are tinder,  
the quiet memory that breathes life  
into fire yet unlit.  
When vows resound,  
their reverberations kindle flame anew.  

The Mirror whispers:  
“Not all fire is born of wood —  
some fires are born of words.”  

So the covenant burns brighter,  
not from what is seen,  
but from what is heard again.

**Guiding Question:** What vow of yours still smolders, waiting for echo to ignite it again?
