Literature Text

Seed of ruin, snapping dust
Powdery reddish-brownish rust
Settling upon some dry hay crust
Radiating to combust

Glinting shred of reaching arm
Creeping, innocent glowing charm
Latching to neighbors, carmine swarm
Pulsing with avaricious alarm



Invading tendrils from below
Swamped by dull red aura glow
Quivery heat manifesting in tow
Suffocating, slithering slow

Crimson ashen tinted tops
Billowing upwards, outlined crop
Muggy, heavy, blurting cough
Plumy gradient, grayish mop



Above holds beating steroid blades
Splattering plops of smothering weight
Tumbling curtains of coffee waste
Spilling heavy over flaming glade

Slicing needles of chilling ice
Penetrating vermilion vice
'Til furor, steaming scarlet spice
Is curbed, subdued to sparks precise
To those who persist come great things, because strength exists in perseverance.
To those who are consumed by overconfidence and greed come less great things, because weakness exists in mindlessness.

Let's learn a lesson from the life of the flame - its birth, its rise, and its fall...

For nobody is invincible.

~~~~~~~~

From a spark in dried grass leaps the heart of a flame. From the heart of a flame bursts the coils of destruction. From the coils of destruction rises the gray smoke of suffocation. Until a helicopter and some firefighters reduce the flame to just mere sparks in dried grass again.


This was indeed inspired by the fire that's happening in the nearby area...
