    Fire! Fire! Fire!

    Pyro, Fuego, Fire,
    It’s a power, a strength,
    A source of light,
    Luminescent as solar energy,
    Incandescent as moonbeams,
    Luminosity of stars
    Effulgence of blue heavens
    It kindles, ignites vivid minds,
    Imaginations, carnival brilliance,
    Illuminates the world, the universe,
    In the beginning a friend,
    It leads, guides your way,
    Makes you warm, live, survive, yet
    In the end, if abuse, left alone,
    Becomes a monster, a destroyer,
    Murderer, a spoiler it is,
    Instill fear in you, the phobia overrule us,
    Soon the cosmos, the macrocosm,
    Solar, lunar, mankind to ashes,
    Lustrous existence gone,
    All in darkness, inky black
    Empty space, serenity, tranquility but then,
    The essence is nothing without.
    Fire! Fire! Fire!

    This is well done, and I like your choice of words here. Isn't it interesting that the very think we need can destroy us...hmmm.

    Beautiful! First word that came to my mind when i read this poem. Its very idealistic also. Hopefully, we'll all be ready if total darkness will come in our way...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
