Fire

It’s mesmerizing, isn't it

Dancing in the wind

Just by looking at its flame

All forget of its pain

It consumes,

Never ceasing,

Eating away at all it touches

With its talons opened wide,

With the faintest of sounds,

Engulfs the world in a pillar of fire

Never slowing  to realize what it has done

Its lust for consumption never sways

As its towering flames brush against the sky

And after it consumes it all

The city of fire will crumble

Until a singular flame is left

Standing in the ashes

As it flickers out in the wind

It leaves behind nothing but scorched land

Which will only ever serve as one large brand
