Fire

Fire

   Fire burns using and exhausting fuel,
   If furious, outrageous and cruel,
   Rigorous flames can even destroy furnace.
   Enchanting flares in blazing elegance.

  Hydrogen is burning in the fire ball Sun.
  Molecules break into those of Helium.
  Reaction is nothing but Nuclear Fission.
  Nuclear explosion follows at random.

  Friction of dry leaves or twigs causes forest fire.
  Instant ignition can lead devastating turbulence.
  Frightened animals, prey or killer flee together.
  Fire is extinguished slowly, natural occurrence.

  Fire of mind chases fear raising drooping head higher,
  boosting heart, strengthening soul, fire the purifier.
