A fire storm rages on through the night
Giving birth to fear and death
Its screams of pain and delight
Are heard upon the wind’s breath

Clapping thunder within its smoke
Threatens its death by drowning
Fearing demise it once again spoke
Laughing, singing, charring and browning

A flash of lighting sprays the sky
Warning of impending doom
Undaunted the fire reaches for the light
Carelessly dancing beneath the moon

Drop by drop the rain doth come
Searing the flame, scorching its soul
Gasping for life it knows it’s done
The heat of its fury begins to turn cold

The rain beats down in bountiful mirth
Flooding the ashes of a once great storm
The water recede revealing fresh earth
Though the flame upon the wind still sings its song

This one didn't make much sense to me, bu t it wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it down.
