Embers glow and fade
With each passing breath
Smoke wafts low and high
Catching the passing breeze
Hungering for sustenance
Waiting on the whims f another
Coaxing fire to arise
Igniting flames of life
Brightening dark fields of forever
Attracting lovers of the light
Arousing joy within
Quenching the lust for warmth
Embers glow and fade
With each passing breath
Awaiting acknowledgment
Yearning to rise and roar
Consuming all that surrounds
Altering the landscape in a flash
Changing the colour of the sky
Sending the beacon of existence
Exhibiting the light of now
Freeing the invisible beauty
Smoldering the material means
Imprinting memorable effects
Through the creative fire
With each passing breath
