Heat

Light

Flames

Destruction

Smoke

Ash

Death

Destruction

Rebirth

An element

Feared

Revered

Misunderstood

A clan long wrong

Warped in wrath

Anger

Destruction

Forgetting

That rebirth

Is the truth

That fire

Isn't simply an

Angry

Hurt

Destructive force

That it can give light in the dark

That it can warm the cold

That from the ashes its sister is reborn

Again

And

Again

Yet

It is

Misused

Abused

A being held hostage

A primal force that was once loved

Used against the people it loves

Hurt and cornered wishing to be free

Yet no one sings songs

Or sleeps with it

No one kindles it

A language most forgot.
