Burning Fire MAG
September 13, 2009
The flames crackle and hiss
As the wood is piled on
Their existence almost extinguished
By one thoughtless act
They snake up the chimney
As quiet as a mouse
Yet they roar like a lion
To eat up the kindling
Spit out ash
This is what they live for
A short life
But every second is worth it
