One Fire

Raging winds bite the earth

Digging in fangs that thirst for something more

Pushing trees to one side

Laughing at the misery of leaves in constant torment

One thing too many rubs against the dry ground

A tiny jubilant spark springs forth

It dances merrily against the wind

It spreads; it divides and conquers

It overtakes the wind and the two become one

Flying together around the dry world

Wreaking havoc, killing all

The desolation of one fire is terrible

The pain it can cause if you get too close

It burns and it eats away

Anything in its path is a dance floor

It stomps and romps and whistles as it goes

Never caring what the next obstacle is

This is the power of only one fire
