Sparks
Dust and cinder
Kinder
The fuel of fire
The output of flames
Of ignition
Charred
Heat to the flame
Like ashes
It all crumbles
Fluttering in the wind
Dwindling
Falling like sickened flakes
Plagued particles
Charcoal and wood
Crackling of the bark
Burning
The fire dances in the moonlight
Our souls ignite in remembrance
Engulfed in flames
Our hearts are the fuel
The coal
We are the outcome
The product
The ash around the coals
The result of combustion
Until our flame is snuffed out
And we cease
To the eternal fire
A life of damnation
A cycle
Always back to the flames
To the cinder
