Description
Fire
I lit a fire in my fire pit last night,
It started small like most fires do,
At first it struggled to take hold,
Until it finally fully ignited, proclaiming its existence, and illuminating its world.
I stared at it and felt its warmth,
Its rhythmic, hypnotic dance captivated me,
Its crackling sound mesmerized me,
Its burning embers ascended skyward into the darkness,
Only to extinguish and fall back to earth as ashes.
In time the fire waned into soft glowing embers,
And like all living things, died,
Leaving behind only ashes.

you've captured the softness and glow of the flame, rather than the threatening feeling of flame. Your purple-ish tint makes it reflective, inward. And the contrasts of the white flame with all that shadows is very effective. Flame is very difficult to capture closeup: It just doesn't take 'form' very well, in close view; but you got the forms and spirit of it, and how it transforms all that it touches. A very touching capture.
