Poetry: Fire

FIRE

I am many things,

And I serve many purposes,

Some find me a foe,

And others a savior.

I can burn a forest to a crisp,

Kill without mercy or retribution,

Consume an entire village,

An bring all which exists to an end.

Yet I bring life,

Destroy all harm in the world,

Provide a new beginning,

Such is the cycle this Earth depends upon.

I bring warmth to those too numb to feel,

Supply light to those too blinded with grief,

I provide company to those too solemn to continue,

And give hope to those who despair.

I reside in the hearts of many,

And flicker in the eyes of some,

Warm the hands of all,

And provide justice upon the wicked.

I dazzle those who gaze into my fiery tongues,

And dance perpetually through sun and moon,

I fear none and all fear me

I am fire.

    by Jerry Curtis

    From ember's sleep I rise and lick
    That which is dry and prone to me
    I smoke and rise to kindling's stick
    And turn to char,

    He breathes it.
    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
