What Am I

Glowing dimly in the dark,
See tiny specks from afar.
Blowing around on the breeze,
Can bring people to their knees,
Destroy people's desires.
Because we are the embers of a molten fire,
The most deadly part of all.
We are the embers.

I love your take on this poem, turning us all into a questioning fire and your lovely posing of a question. You didn't however choose the personification form that was a contest requirement. It's still a very good poem and enjoyable to read, despite the contest. Thanks very much for entering my contest.
