The Eternal Dance of Fire

In the heart of the night, a spark is born,

A flicker, a whisper, a golden thorn.

It kisses the dark with a burning sigh,

A silent ember that dares to fly.

A fragile flame, both fierce and frail,

Weaving a story, a glowing trail.

It hungers, it roars, it leaps and spins,

A dance of destruction where it begins.

The fire, a wild and untamed beast,

Feeding on wood, devouring its feast.

Its fingers stretch — orange, red, and blue,

A blazing spirit, ancient and true.

It crackles with secrets, untold and deep,

Awakening dreams that long did sleep.

It lights the night with a golden crown,

While shadows rise and tumble down.

But fire is more than mere burning rage,

A poet, an artist, a timeless sage.

It warms the cold with a tender embrace,

A hearth, a home, a familiar place.

By candle’s glow, lovers confide,

With fire’s soft breath, they sit side by side.

It melts the ice that winter weaves,

And whispers hope through autumn leaves.

Yet beware, for fire has two cruel eyes —

One that soothes, and one that defies.

A careless hand, a reckless spark,

Can turn a dawn to endless dark.

Forests crumble, the sky turns red,

And silent ashes mark what's dead.

The wind, once gentle, fans its might,

Transforming day into starless night.

Cities bow to its ruthless flame,

It cares not for glory, nor for shame.

A tyrant that razes both poor and grand,

Leaving only blackened sand.

But fire, like life, knows balance well —

A flicker of heaven, a whisper of hell.

It fuels our hearts, it shapes our steel,

A force to break, a force to heal.

For in the forge, the sword is made,

And through the flame, the past can fade.

The phoenix rises from fiery graves,

And candles burn for souls it saves.

So let us honor fire’s embrace,

With steady hearts, both bold and grace.

For though it burns with untamed art,

It also lights the human heart.

A spark to guide, a flame to inspire,

The eternal dance — the song of fire.
