I am

A flame

I’ve burned bright

Burned through many a night

I’ve consumed the air around me

And the kindling beneath my feet

I’ve burned bright

For long I’ve kept alight

You can tell of my passing

From a lingering smell of sulfur

I’ve burned hot

I’ve carbonized a lot

I’ve left my mark on many things

My black dust that stains the world

I am a flame

I am a flame

Burning

Burning away

I’ve burned hot

Emblazoned all I aught

When my time is over

I will be but soot and sulfur

When my time is over

I will be but soot and sulfur

I am a flame

I am a flame

Burning

Burning away

Burning

Burning

Burning

Away
