Lightning strike brought it to be
A spark
An ember
Now flaming free,
Bounding leaping running along
conjuring up the demon song.

Relentless heat tantalizes the beast
Dancing beauty engrossed in the feast
Tree sweat, once silent rolls down
Now sings and crackles feeding the crown

Merciless winds sweep from an inland so dry
Shoot a battalion of embers to a paddock of rye
An army of flames form a united front
Searching for fuel to continue their hunt

Hunt they did with relentless speed
Consuming the living with unparalleled greed
Bearing its teeth of red orange and gold
Ensuring its victims never grew old

Armageddon hath come as foretold in the past
With the ashen decimation of a nuclear blast
Charred souls laying where the beast had its way
As a blood moon rose on our darkest day.

I smoke and rise to kindling's stick
And turn to char,

Sharp orange tendrils flick from

side to side

waves rush through vacant buildings
washing windows

by Adam Smith

Each flame is an acrobat
leaping and lapping
lunging and flapping
a tongue of quick red
licking and crackling
tasting and clacking
Together
