Feeding pages,
Edges curl.
Blackness spreads,
Ink spill on paper.

Coaxing, teasing,
Playful seduction.
Invite to touch,
Promising warmth.

Forests blaze,
Candles burn.
Fuel for growth,
Limitless potential.

Cleansing destruction,
Harness its power.
Overgrown suffocation,
Smoke breathing free.

Ashes remain,
All else inconsequential.
Clearing space,
Floating up to the sky.
