Playing With Fire

Flickering, dancing, burning, waving

Embers waltz among debris

Sparks in a cacophony of lights

Flames lick wood, paper, fuel, consuming with desire to thrive

Burning, licking, consuming, dancing

A scene plays out before my eyes

Both beautiful and deadly at the same time

The balance of flame and fuel must not be undone

Frailty lingers in wake of destruction

The story comes to an end as I watch

The roaring flame reduced to flickers

An empire falls, destroyed by time

To never again reach former glory

Whoever can figure out what the end is an allusion to gets a cookie and a Kira plushie.
