A Hero

The orange tongues lick up to the sky
Casting eerie glows as sparks fly

All engulfed by smoke, we wait

And emerging from the burning strife,
The Hero with a compassion for life.

    Though it was intended as a dedication to firemen, I suppose it can be offered up to many various heroes. Thank you for the comments.
