I am born with a spark

When sparked, I Dance.
Bending
Twisting elegantly
Breathing warmth
Reaching out
with smoky fingertips

When sparked, I Sing.
Soothing
comforting melodies
until
I fade away
As ashes in the wind

The author's comments:
For this poem I was trying to create the calm feeling I get when I watch a campfire. Its also personification, because I am speaking as though I am the campfire.
