Sing this song with great vibrato
and
you will feel
The Fire Dance.

Fire Dance
The dance as old as the ancient tombs
of long ago kings.
Smothering heat whipped into a frenzy
by the scorching breath
of the howling wind.
Swirling in a wild gypsy rage,
colors of fiery red, raging orange,
and suffocating blue.
Hissing, calling out your name,
licking at your fingertips.
The fire out of control, growling, snarling,
baying at the moon-
An uncontrollable hunger seizing
everything within its path.
The howl screams with frightening intensity.
This sound, reminding you of the legendary
Baskerville hounds.
Down into the valleys,
climbing high onto brilliant hillsides
of
blazing greens and golden yellows.
Burning fingers reaching, touching,
caressing branches,with fiery desire.
Turning once statuesque trees
into hollow burnt timbers
of glowing ash.
The stench, the ash, the beauty, the fear,
the sorrow.
How do we stop the fury
of
The Fire Dance?

Love Bon-Bon
