Watch the flame dance
Warm and full of color
Banishing fierce winter cold
Peaceful it is

Flame ignites
Quick and hot on gas
But burns long and deep
On old wood

Fire cleanses earth
From time to time
Burning down old growth
To make way for the new

Flame is a bonding element
Gather one, gather all
Around the fire
To talk, sing, dance

And pass the stories down
Generation to generation
Flame, like water
Binds the universe
