Fire

From a flicker of flames that spark up, hot and white Inimitable heat rises up through the night Reaching out, with it's fast, fiery fingers to take Everything that lives, breathes or stands within it's wake. Fire attacks, like a wicked, mad angry demon It sears, scorching paths that destroy in due season Firestorms can consume with a destructive passion Like a wild, unpredictable temper tantrum. A necessity for life, fire brings warmth and heat An invaluable source, to cook what we eat It can bend ore and iron, create what man wills Whether cars, great ships or guns, for good or for ill. A veritable force on our earthly domain Fire's might, in it's grand glory, will ever remain. Written on 4/18/2016
