Dry Heat

Peter Garcia

Fire

Fire is a substance that is

fueled purely by destruction, with

all of its warmth and light coming to life from

the death of everything caught within the

walls of flames, ever feeding

the storm of calamity and wrath. Look at the blaze, all thats seen is

a blinding light of havoc and suffering, but look again, one will see

controlled chaos, perhaps even purpose, as the

dying flames lose their warmth as it becomes nothing more than

a patch of blue light, slowly and gradually fading into

the surrounding night, overpowered by

the darkness in the air. As the

glowing ball of infinite fire and

light reveals itself beyond

the distant horizon, the ruins left behind by

destruction in its purest form become

visible; unmasking what, at first glance, looks like

nothing but ruins and ashes. Dare to

look again, to look close, and one will

see the creation of something unfamiliar. The creation of

something irreversible. The creation of

a new beginning. The creation of

hope.
