Ode to Fire

By Anonymous

You shine a fiery red color, 

Burnt sienna mixed with beautiful gold.

You have the power to mesmerize my eyes. 


You stand on birthday cakes. 

You flow so magically, 

Before I breathe in

And blow you out


You live in the fireplace. 

Crackling 

Sizzling

 all through the night.


Since the beginning of time.

You have been the source,

Of heat and light. 

You give the ability 

To cook food

Create pottery 

And forge tools. 


We would not know your 

warmth. 

We would not know your magnificent 

light. 

Without that simple rock and wood

You would have not been born.
