fire consumes rocks below
molten liquid stirs
purity steams
rising
refreshing fountain explodes
tear drops descend
decreasing down
cleansing
calm cavern; peaceful pool
still silently rests
mirrored reflection
satisfying

I like the way this progressed from fire and explosion to calm and peace - nice take on the prompt
This is a great little piece. I don't view it in any literal sense, for me it can be related to various things: nature, emotion, the cycles within society.
Thanks for sharing

when the waters play a role in poetry, it never fails to succeed, and then to be able to detail the explosive eruptive tides, very nicely, you were there to see it huh? ..lol
