My Name is Fire

My name is Fire,
but I have fur
and a feisty temperment.
In the northern forest
I make my home
I scamper about on branches and scold
flicking my tail
of rusty red,
who am I
and what have I said?

Fire Song

Laughing, dancing, licking,

Yellow-warmth-light

Wood smoke and embers

Sizzle sing and spark

POP!  Snap! Crackle song,

Fragrant and warm,

Curling around me,

Embracing me,

With comforting music

On a cold and dreary

 day.

Throw Me Into The Fire

Thunderheads build behind the Santa Rita Mountains

Click to enlarge for a better view

Throw me into the fire
of a boiling monsoon sky,
where thunderheads build
behind dry mountain peaks
to pour down rain
on my parched soul,
throw me into the fire
of that boiling, roiling sky,
where I can feel my heartbeat,
where I can feel my soul stir,
where I can learn to fly--
let it burn away the excess
of a sedentary life
and fill me to overflowing
with passion and desire,
so throw me into the fire
of this consuming sky.
