Fire!

FIRE!

A thundering crash broke the silence.
A bolt of lightning raced out of the sky
and struck a near-by tree.

I cried FIRE!

A shot rang out from the jungle in front of me.
A bullet sliced through the air
and splintered a branch to my left.

I yelled FIRE!

A crisp snap revealed itself in the night.
A match flickered into life to dispel
the surrounding darkness.

I sighed fire.

A gentle crackling called out over the drifts.
A hearth held out its warmth in defiance
to the frozen snow.

I called fire.

The sounds of laughter was rising high.
Spirits soared as friends and lovers enjoyed
each other for the evening.

This too, FIRE.
