Swiftly jumping from leaf to leaf--        scorching--       everything is ash! Searing, heavy breath hot sweat pours from hair down the back to escape the heat smoke chokes the lungs... Dark cloud for the world to see the charred destruction Excruciating burns. Torturously slow... Flesh boiling, melting pain scabbing stabbing every nerve survivors see scars as a reminder.

Fire (rage)
Swiftly jumping from leaf to leaf--        scorching--       everything is ash! Searing, heavy breath hot sweat pours from hair down the back to escape the heat smoke chokes the lungs... Dark cloud for the world to see the charred destruction Excruciating burns. Torturously slow... Flesh boiling, melting pain scabbing stabbing every nerve survivors see scars as a reminder.
