Bonfire
January 15, 2014
Dancing, twirling
Shining all around
Leaping, bursting
Tis beauty unbound
A thousand sparks
Flying through the night
Tiny fireflies
Bursting full of light
A Phoenix flying
Is what’s inspired
Wrapped in glowing stars
And crowned with fire
A final flare
Crackling and bright
Thousand more flung up
To unseeing heights
Failing, fading
The ember’s silence
Dying, waning
No longer vibrant
