Fire
Tame it
Respect it
Control it
Fire can be tamed and made your own
Use it to attack or defend
To spread peace or war
Or simply sit and watch
The pictures in the flames
Fire
Use it
Wield it
Master it
Once you know the fire well
You can achieve anything
For whatever ends you desire
Or simply sit and watch
The pictures in the flames
Author notes
I know that fire can be really dangerous, but I also think if people respect fire, they can do anything with it.
This poem is mainly about respecting fire, but I also wanted to give a message - about giving up war and peace, and taking some time to sit back and spectate rather than getting involved.

a lovely passsive poem. no war no action. just observing what fire can do in a constructive way. rather than destructive.
i loved the pictures in the flames line when i read it I thought of pictures of flames rather than flaming pictures becasue this piece is so calm. it juxtaposes the entirte poem becasue it is an action and your watching action instead of getting involved. love it how origional and creative
good luck and thankyou for eneterin
