Fire

The dark hides from the licking tongues

They rise and fall, hungry for the air to survive

They bring forth heat to scorch and heal

The tongues are never tamed for their hearts are wild

They are free as the wind and ride upon them

But too much, they are gone, too little, down they descend

Ice, they hate. Water is fatal to their hot dances

It radiates heat and gives warmth to shivering bones

But it can take life away from the foolish once sparked

A force of nature, a freak of nature

Both names in one as the colors swirl

Red, orange, yellow, blue and white all give it life

Keep it controlled or the price will be high

For Fire can be life or death
