Retrospective Ilumination

Sparks fly from water.
This cauldron boils forever!
Fire, water does mix.


For "guiding light" contest

A description of inner fire I would guess. If not, illuminate. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

I appreciate your words "sparks fly from water" to cleverly describe the spewing and splattering water, as in a boiling pot over fire. Congratulations on your win.
