Fire sleeps within all
the brightness makes the darkest shadows seem small
can you feel the embers burning?
and what will fan the flame?
Embers rise high with a gust
dancing ashes pays tribute to beauty
of fire purifying all it will touch
as if fulfilling natural duty.
The longer it goes, the flames go higher
and that feeling of madness, lust, and desire
brings us to where we are,
the kindling point of star-fire.
I used to like to work with a theme. One of my first poems.
