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
