Fire of Insight
spark ignites
twists, turns, glows
amber gem shining
cowering darkness
warm breath whispers,
kindles the first
flares, glints, flares
blossoms of flashes
licks at the black
stretches and glares
murmurs and snaps
flickers to flames
crackles then growls
roaring ablaze
tarry not, mortal
encircled, scorched

Thanks, Scribbler! I do like making last minute entries and startling the OPs, lol.

I love fires. So mesmerizing and peaceful, just like your poem. Can't wait to get home from work to start my woodstove.
