Arsonist’s accomplice,
         designed only to spread
     created with malice,
filling urns with the dead

Hypnotically, dancing
          A feast for the eyes
     Bewitching, entrancing
Illuminates skies

Trees laid to waste
          Reducing forest to ash
    Consuming with haste
Erasing life, with a flash

Rivaled by water,
          Unremorsefully blazing
    Hades, its father
Uncontrolled, never aging


Heating…
     Lighting…
Feeding…
      Igniting…
