flames dancing through the night
made from lightning strikes
blazing and burning
consuming anything
put out only by water
destroying trees
burning forests
by turning ember to ash
causing death and despair
when burning through air

but also
brings light to darkness
protection from night
heat to the cold
for cooking food
and toasting marshmallows

all while warming hands
and heating homes
through the winter
with is flames
