Fire

In the heart of night, a flickering spark,

Fire, the ancient, untamed beast,

From humble flame to blazing feast.

It whispers tales of times long past,

When shadows danced and light was cast.

A warmth that soothes, a force that roars,

Breaking chains, unlocking doors.

Its golden tendrils reach and climb,

A silent rhythm, a timeless rhyme.

Fire ignites the soul's desire,

A phoenix rising from the pyre.

For it can turn from friend to child.

In a breath, it gives, in a gust, it takes,

A paradox that shapes and breaks.

Fire, the eternal, the guiding light,
