Ardor

Ardor

Elemental flame
dances with rhythm of life
wisps of heat wanting freedom.

An ember is born
visionary reads the signs
in vanishing dark tendrils.

    Elemental flame
    dances with rhythm of life
    wisps of heat's wanton freedom.

    Wisping as ghost smoke
    visionary inhales signs
    of the flames swirling spirit.

    I have seen that fire dancing. I have read the tendrils. I can feel the meaning pulsing through my veins at this very moment! Thank you for this very tasty read! A simple but flavorful offering. Three bunnies and worship for you.
