Love the progression, like chainlinks!
from a single lighter hit,
a magnesium rod,
a subtle orange over the horizon;
to a lit cigarette,
a small campfire,
a vibrant morning;
to a painful demise,
a good memory,
a hopeful scenery.
finally, from the fire that burns inside, to all shades of creation, to the anticipated extinguish.
it all depends on what you're burning.
