Ignite
A blaze will burn Alight for hours at a time Light slowly dimming as it’s hunger is satiated What is left, nothing but ashes blown away in the wind The flames of gold that sparked through time The crimson that burned away so dear It’s remains will forever be untouched It toys with the balance of Life and Death Whether to kill or be killed is it’s motive To ignite it is to start a war Gabriela Bravo, 12
