Fire's Embrace

Fire's Embrace

I am Fire, the blazing heart, the warmth in darkest night, 

From humble spark to raging flame, I am the primal light. 

I dance upon the candle's wick, a beacon soft and mild,

And roar within the furnace deep, untamed and running wild.

I am the force of transformation, consuming, giving birth, 

From ashes gray, new life springs forth, renewing Mother Earth. 

In the hearth, I bring together, with stories, warmth, and cheer, 

In wilderness, I clear the way, for growth in coming years.

My flickering whispers tell of warmth, of comfort, and of dread, 

For in my heart, both life and death, eternally are wed. 

I am the passion of the soul, the fury and the grace, 

The lover's touch, the warrior's strength, the challenge you embrace.

In controlled, steady embers, I forge the tools of man, 

In wild, untamed infernos, I shift the desert sand. 

Respect my power and my gift, for I am both boon and bane, 

In my embrace, a tender kiss, or all-consuming flame.

So when you gaze upon my glow, remember what I bring, 

The duality of nature's force, the dragon's fiery wing. 

I am the Fire, the primal spark, the guardian of the night, 

In my embrace, you find your strength, your courage, and your light.
