it glows

twirls and dances

leaving whirls and trances

in waves, so graceful

yet it has taken lives

wiped out cities

in a blazing hot rage

but right now it is small

weak, controllable

regardless

it burns with a fiery passion

it glows

it twirls and dances

leaving whirls and trances

it…

i’ve been staring at this flame for too long
