Fire Breath

Look as the fire licks what it needs
Oxygenated air it breathes in the breeze
Needing the same thing that we all need
It burns red the same color that we bleed

The Flames are alive as their own entity
Embers in the wind is how fire breeds
Jumping across paths, streets, and trees
Alighting it's journey nights shine brightly

A once raging inferno now down to ashes
The winds died down so goes the flashes
Down to a wisp slowly the smoke rises
Burnt paths dressed in charcoal disguises
