I am Flame, rising majestic. Antediluvian.
Formed before the deluge of flooded words
engulfed the megafauna of the social landscape
Fiery. Ethereal. Born of fire -
Created from vibrant cosmic written nebulas.
I am dynamic, a shadow of chiaroscuro lighting.
I swirl, psychedelic - Awaking...
In a deep, star-filled expanse of creativity.
I contrast between light and dark
Voluminous and three-dimensional in psyche.
I am Mood, depth, form, light and shadow.
I rise dramatic, burning and mysterious
Atmospheric noir...the darkest part of the light...
I am the transition between the highlight and the shadow.
Reflected light that bounces from blackened darkness.
Emerging from the dark places
providing shade
becoming subtle illumination to the umbriferous spaces.
A Fiery flame dying, exuding one last hurrah,
Fading
Exhaling my last breath!

Every breath of the fire carries symbolic meaning. Rebirth and purification. Oblivion and reverence. I traveled back and saw, through my imagination, Burning Man in a spectacular way. Very beautiful and liberating.
So freaking powerful! Loved it!
This is intense in a great way! Love the imagery 🔥
What a way to describe an artist of any persuasion. This would be a great poem to introduce some terms to a beginning art lesson. Good job.
Excellent Performance poetry. Very powerful!
