“ FIRE “

What is the nature of fire,

how does it affect what we do?
In the night time it warms our body,
and then it cooks our food.
It can be a flicker on a candle,
or a 200,000 acre forest fire.
With a beautiful amber and orange flame,
it can grow from an ember to a towering spire.
Power of fire is truly awesome,
turns a tree to a pile of ash.
Yes fire is totally consuming,
exploding gasoline from a splash.
What have we learned about fire,
total destruction it tries’s to bring.
That’s the destiny of fire.
and that’s the nature of things.
