How can it be a fire burns yet keeps you warm?
An orange-colored autumn storm
It traps you in its blazing gaze
It can hold you there for many days
Accept its touch and ash you’ll become
Something you can’t run away from
You’ll feel betrayed
But it’ll still cut like a blade
Create or destroy, it’s your choice
But you’ll always hear the calling voice

A wonderful poem that speaks of the two aspects of fire the blending of colors. It speaks of the hypnotic force of fire. It speaks of its destructive and creative properties and lastly how it calls to us all like a siren. It also may be seen as a metaphor for passion. A fave
Thank you for the read Soren. Yes fire tends to be very tempting at times and it can be difficult to resist, especially with all the vibrant colors.
