Forged By Fire
Marshmallow sundaes, painted in acrylics
radiate color of tulips in yellow spring sun.
To breeze silver moonbeam, fate favorable.
But for some, its sledging on a fiery anvil,
pumelled and pounded in smouldering coal.
blackened in orange flames, rasping for air
flames of inferno, hammers blow them kiss.
Alloyed together, forged in hearth of cinder,
kindled and reinforced, fireflies spark in swarm
A conflagration burns..to keep others warm.
