Ode to a Flame

By BrokenButterflyWings

Fire, fire
Flames grow higher
Burn now brighter
Reaching from your tarnished cage
Share with us your living rage
Warm us with your glowing heart
And leave us with your smoke and dark

Not a pyromaniac but I will say though, this piece is beautiful and my goodness miss, this is the first piece I've read that has been dated back this far, I feel like I've uncovered an antique. Thank you so much for sharing =)
