Elemental Fire

From grand supernova to tiny spark Infinitesimal to infinite Releasing raw power from cold and dark Evanescent bloom, life glows animate Bright conflagration’s transient glory And steady burn driving the world's engine Flame’s warm light on pages of a story Glowing, ardent blaze of lovers' passion Our stolen gift, from great Prometheus Provoking Zeus’ eternal, scorching wrath Guide and protector, from time’s dawn with us Beating wolves and Reaper back down the path White hot lotus flower blooms within me My inflamed spirit burning to be free 4/20/16 140 Syllables, Shakespearean Rhyme Scheme For contest: Elements Part 4-Fire Sponsor: Brian Davey
