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.
