                 FIRE
          By ... Steve Lucky

As if having a life of its own,
Fire burns anything found in its path.
It will burn everything until it's alone,
Leaving a trail of destruction in the aftermath.
Heat too intense for humans to withstand
Rises from its central core.
Distance is safest without a plan.
Fire burns everything yet still wants more.
Boundaries must be established so the fire will not spread
To places it clearly should not go.
Consuming much like a living being,
Uncontrolled its progress will not slow.
Great power it provides when under control,
Warmth alone give fire an important role.
