I stoked you into existence
Yet you have no real substance
I’m warmed by your radiance
Still I can’t look from your grace
With lights flitting across my face
I watch as you twist and dance
Enthralled deeply entranced
The swirling vision of heat
Provide a blissful retreat
Loosening the pasts hold
As you crackle and smolder
Carrying me to a calmer place
As you catch and quicken pace
Take care not to let you sputter and die
Feed you to a grand and righteous pyre
In the depth of your flickering flash
My doubts and worries burn away to ash
