In the midst of life's flames, Your inner strength will be forged. The burning comes, a trial by fire, Oh brave heart, don't let the flames fade. For in the ashes, a phoenix lies, Waiting to rise, with wings to the skies. From the very flames that once brought pain. Comes transformation, and a new reign.

Stark Small spark. Flames ignite. Fire now burns bright. Smoke choking the air. Breeze fans blaze, everywhere. Soaring temperatures pall. Crackling as branches snap and fall. Animals whimper, they watch it grow. Smoke billows, acrid smell, this inferno. Blinding smoke, darkened sky, see it billow. Crimson hot flames reach skyward, they glow. Conditions, make it hard to breathe. Blazing...
