Forest Fire

The blaze began on a distant shore
A simple fire, but you wanted more
Soon the heat was beyond compare
Yet still you didn't seem to care
The flames rose higher into the night
As you reveled in your fierce firelight
You danced around the conflagration
Claiming immortality with your creation
No power on earth could stop you now
Nor even heaven, as you made your vow
To send every spark into the world
Watching each flame as it unfurled
Bringing destruction to all things good
Chasing false daylight into the wood
Now trapped by the screams of your desire
You dissolve into the forest of eternal fire
