Fire
A fire burning is a sight so mesmerizing
Especially when lauded it is with words
Enouncing of how great that power which
Rules over us all is!
Flames, being made to represent our own God
Are that which captivates my attention
At all times!
The magic with which they are imbibed,
Potent enough to hold the keys to allow us
Entries into portals where life is said to be fairer
And the power with which they sneer at us,
Tempting us to dip our little fingers in their essence
Makes of them that which shall never be conquered
Neither by me nor by any of my peers
For fires are that which have been created
To remind us all
Of how small we shall remain, faced
With the magnitude of the mystery that hovers
Above our heads!
Fire hold enough potency to absorb in our sins,
Or our promises to be better versions of ourselves,
Or even,
Our choice of life partner,
And of course, in the end,
It is that which gobbles us our remains
When our body feels that it has accomplished its duty
In this world!
A fire, dancing arrogantly, boasting of its hold over us,
Is as beautiful as is the sight
Of the calm ocean sprawled for kilometres on end
Meeting the skies at that point which bluffs our minds
And our vision!
