glowing embers
Hot dying coals
Glowing embers are the smoldering remnants of a fire—pieces of wood or coal that have burned down but still radiate heat and faint orange light.
Unlike flames, embers burn slowly without visible fire: The campfire had died to glowing embers.
The phrase often evokes warmth fading toward darkness, or passion not quite extinguished.
