Flames

Draven

A small flame is quick to ignite

and is swiftly extinguished.

Yet one spark

can be responsible

to set a whole city alight.

 

So quick can a wildfire encompass all

Destroying everything in its path

      Wildfires and forest fires not even a spark required simply a piece of broken glass and sunlight, but you capture the imagery of the destruction that can be caused.👌

        It still starts with a spark regardess of the cause of that spark.

          I see what you're getting at, but when I see a fire, I get the hell away.
          Cheers.

          Oh Draven a spark can indeed fire a whole forest - -what a haunt of a read about the danger of fire and the ravage it brings to all in its path. Thinking with you of those still trying to build homes again.
