Renewal Through Destruction

Flames engulfing all within their path Ignorant of the damage they've created. Renewing life, through destructive force Emerging of the Ashes, life's new rebirth. From Nature's fury, the force of fire's born. Destruction's enforcer, survivors left to mourn. Scorching all held within its warm embrace. Cursed by many of victims, often left in disgrace. So simply materializing, all needed is but a spark. Its brilliant elegance, illuminating all that's dark. Creeping in new directions, destination unknown. Overtaking nearly all, only safe is that of stone Its true intentions, often impossible to discern. The only constant, another fire will soon burn.

Thank you very much for your kind words, and for taking the time to read my work. I am so happy to place in your contest! I have a style that is a little different than most, and often times my tone is dark, and subjects depressing. Not too popular with happy people! Haha
