The colors are amazing
I've never seen such a mixture of oranges and yellows
Reds and Blues
I'm entranced
Swept up by it's intoxicating dance
As the licks of flames grow closer
I'm fascinated
Swirling around me
Faster and faster
I could never imagine such beauty
I have never seen such passion
Spinning
Spinning...
I'm caught up in it's motion
Delirious with joy
At being able to share in such glory
At being able to witness such freedom
Such reckless abandonment
I'm losing myself
How could I deny such power?
How could I refuse?
I'm becoming but a color myself
Dependent on nothing
Defiant
It seeks to consume everything
And it consumes me
The more I participate in it's dance
The farther I am from what I want
Although I do not fear
It offers me life as I have never felt
I'm offered
Eternity?
But no...
I'm burning alive.
