Water cascades down
As serenity seeks peace
In the stream of hope

She dances with the fire
A mistress of the flame
Where some must go, to find her
Yet, no one knows her name
She swirls about, like smoke
She is kindled from the ashes
And she’ll burn you, this is certain
With each spark, her power flashes
Her mystery, kept hidden
Her secrets, safe within this place
The spirit, who feeds on fire
Is the girl, who has no face
Author’s Note: Have you ever looked into a fire and wondered what it was you saw? There are always fire spirits present. Can you see her cloak? 😉

Look closely within
A reflection of yourself
Is on the outside

Spilling from pages, in mysterious ways
Spirits unfold, in a mystical haze
Open the book, and magic appears
Bound, indeed, to the celestial sphere
Floating on air, they dance as you read
Wafting with words, is all that they need
To bring you life, from the far beyond
Watching you closely, as you respond
To the joys they breathe, and you take it all in
Turning the pages, again and again

You were electrically charged
Swift bolts of jagged edges
Held up by clouds, but you,
You couldn’t be contained
Too powerful to be harnessed
Too fiery to be claimed
As the gods of thunder roared
And the battle pursued
You fought til the end
Quietly making your way
Across the blackened skies
