I Am Fire

I Am Fire

Glittering and glowing

I guide others

on dark winter nights.


Active and lively

I twist long streams of smoke

upward into the misty air.


Burning and crackling

I sprinkle small warm sparks,

upon my surroundings.


Once I am disturbed

I crackle and hiss with fury,

blue and white flames

turning all to ashes.


As the sun rises

I slowly burn out into white, hot ashes,

waiting to be fanned back to life.


I am fire.

I chose this painting because it shows the liveliness of both m e and the fire. The shape and flow of the picture shows the calm and soft side, while the color of the fire shows the dominace and destructiveness of it.This painting mainly represents the first stanza, when i wrote "I guide others on dark winter nights."
