Fire

See the fire,
Watch it play.

Eating the edible,
Swallowing it whole

It's bright and beautiful,
Yet destructive and dutiful.

Is it so different from our lives?
Beautiful at first,
Dark and charred at the end.

Both leave destruction upon this Earth.

Both live with the Hearth.

See the fire,
Watch it play.
It expands, Night and Day.
