A blazing inferno roars with flickering eyes of flame,
Doused in fuel, unspeakably cruel,
Only ashes remain.

Yet
When I gaze into its vivid amber hues,
I am hypnotized by the dazzling sunrise
Powered with ambition, aspiration, and anticipation
This blanket of orange and red silk
Glistens like jewels on a crown
I am mesmerized by the evaporating flares
Recreated, rekindled, and resplendent.


The author's comments:
This was written as my "Found Beauty" poem (taking a common object and making it "beautiful") Fire is often used as a metaphor for anger, pain, or destruction, so I wanted to use it as my subject for the poem.
