The deliberate fire exemplifies inevitable death rituals
When funeral pyres are kindled to bid adieu to the departed
Fire represents illumination as it burns in eternal flame
Consuming impurities and dazzling the numbing darkness
It holds symbolism in prayers, as candles are lit in a church
Or they burn in memorium and in prayers for the deceased
A conflagrant fire, destroyer that devours the unrighteous hungrily
And the raging fire symbolizes God’s indignant wrath
A spirited fire rekindles quiescent passion and desires
As the flames flicker and dance as if in eternal love
A tempestuous fire oft burns within, of vengeance and anger
