Fire

Fire elicits desire

Heat and passion

It wells up inside of us

This hot and creative force

That can destroy in an instant

Chaos exalted

But somehow a beautiful spark

A life that it seems to have all its own

Engulfing everything in it's path if you let it

But it has the ability to burn away what is old

And bring way for the things that are new

It is natures design

It strengthens that which was weak

And it brings way for new life in it's wake

You can't control it

You can only allow it to live 

To breathe

To grow and manifest

If you try and control fire

You will just end up getting burned

I love how you speak of "Fire" in this. How it can do so many things in life. Capable of destruction and yet creating something new. Love this part here:
"A life that it seems to have all its own
Engulfing everything in it's path if you let it
But it has the ability to burn away what is old
And bring way for the things that are new
It is natures design
It strengthens that which was weak
And it brings way for new life in it's wake"

I love your work. Your poems are mostly about nature and its elements, I see. But looks you've worked pretty hard on them.
Continue writing !

You do a good job of showing the dual nature of fire here by acknowledging the ability it has to create and destroy. If we are talking about the eternal spark and fire here, it would make sense that we must allow it to grow and manifest. Typical material control and manipulation would simply smother it. You sir are indeed a teacher.

I had a feeling you would truly be able to appreciate this one.

You were very right :-) Thank you for sharing it with me.

I love the orchestration of mood in this and how you show that fires do not just destroy and consume, but renew and nurture :)

[Ahmad Cox]

Yep. You got it. It has a dual nature and purpose

I'm assuming this is about me. Leo, Fire sign. lol....love it, fire is both dangerous and lovely at the same time, what would we do without it? ;-)

[Ahmad Cox]

Exactly. I am glad you could personify this poem as well.
