I'm not much for poetry, but I managed to scribble this up a few weeks ago... I hope you like it.

I am Fire
I am fire, twisting burning bright.
A small spark; crackling flame; the roiling inferno.
The light in the dark, and the bringer of darkness.
I light your way. I keep you warm. I turn your world into ash.
I am ruthless, punishing. Burning souls in the darkest of hells.
I am the merciful end, the cleansing flame. Purifier of the dead.
I sputter, the cherry embers grow dark and the light is gone.
Charred residue, cold gray ash, that's all that's left...
But there! a single glowing spark. Igniting, rising, burning.
I am fire...
