The flame is feral.

Auroral in its gleaming dance of ups and downs
That we cannot completely understand
Beaming hot, searing luminous
Tameless radiance
We fear
But need

The flame is feral.

Faded ethereal smoke twisting up and out of view
From what the flame devours
Wisps of silver and grey
Intangible beauty
We need
But fear

The flame is feral.

To harbor such power is to become it
Take on the twisting dance
The ethereal light
Unhindered
By darkness
Or fear
