Fire

Fire.
It is life
It is death
Light and illusion,
It draws its first breath,
Flickering long into the night,
Never at rest,

Fire.
It burns in my heart,
Does it burn in yours too?
The will to live,
The fear of all that is,
And the courage to do more than be.

Fire and power.
Inferno, everlasting.
Flaming words and twisted tongues.
A fire in the night,
Engulfed in darkness,
Went out.
