5 Rhythms: Flowing; Staccato; Chaos; Lyrical; Stillness
The fire has been lit.
Small twigs at the centre
Kindle slowly.
Sparks shoot out
A dynamic display:
‘Beware, I am dangerous!’
Flames, red, yellow, blue,
Shoot exuberantly into the sky.
Chaotic frenzy.
With playful flickers
They subside, happily doing their own thing;
The occasional flare
Catches us by surprise.
Dying embers
Of a once blazing fire
Mirror the reflective calm
Of stillness
