Fire of life


Fire burns all that touch
 
Leaving scars to those who are foolish
 
It cooks our meat, our food
 
Giving nutrition to further life
 
It rages with fuel
 
And dwindles when smothered
 
Spreading with just a spark
 
Burning forests and killing life
 
It brings warmth and a sense of home
 
But if wronged it will take all it gives
 
It brings wonder, terror, life, and death
 
Do we control fire? Or does it control us?
