Fire

Fire I may be a deity, I do not know, People talk around me But have never told me so. They gather all around me,like a holy worship ring,and stare into my depths..I am mesmerizing. My powers are used to nourish And to protect. I may sustain life or give a painful death. Like everything,I have a negative And positive side. Where I am, no one can hide. The people offer the most blessings In the times of the snow. The trinity of Light, heat,and smoke, Follow where I go. I am a light in the dark and I am power. I am complete destruction In a negligent hour. I am zeal and passion Desire and heat, You pray I am controlled Whenever we meet. I soften rough edges and keep secrets safe. Like a thief I steal your treasures, And like magic, I erase.
