Eloquently taking no formal shape They are here to cool but not expire The flames that have bursted Or what has become to transpire They roll like waves in a restless sea With brute force they burst through Tearing through your seams Finger nails dug deep till it bleeds Fighting to stay alive The flame slowly dwindles Slowly suffocating from oxygen Nothing else left to burn Under atmospheric pressure The flame collapses and expires An abyss without measure Coal and ashes remain lifeless Only to rediscover the cycle of life Enough remains in ashes Against the odds it collides it clashes To sustain a garden filled with life Eloquently it breaks with no formal shape It's cracks extend like mosaic glass Desperately awaiting rearrangement Awaiting to be pieced once more Burnt, molted it has reached prime To have rays of sun shine through it One final time.
