Phoenix

Each flake of snow

Each burning coal

A life unto its own

A million molecules

Asking nothing

In each chemical reaction

Drifting to silence

Sifting to ash

What beauty in consummation

Autumn singing

Swaying

Maples redden,

Leaves of crimson and gold

Hypnotize with shimmering light

Darting

Reflection

Bohemian fire

Kindled by inspiration

Spirited by flame

There can be no conventions

Left to douse my burning soul
