Flame of the past and future

Flames fiercely floating

Flames dancing in the dark

Flickering fleeting 

Wood whispers, crackles in pain

Feeding its fiery power

Forging futures, remembering the past

Flares of time are fast

    Feverish flower

Floundering, flying, fighting

Water 

        Hydrogen

                Oxygen

Sapping its strength and sparkle

Slowly           Smothering
