One day, I was gazing idly at the flames in the fire when I saw a lion there, stirring amid the very heart of the blaze...
THE FIRE LION
Out of the flames the fire lion steps,
Padding slowly, insouciantly,
His mane ablaze, his eyes aglow,
Amber and scarlet, crimson and gold.
A coruscating kingdom is his to rule,
To reign amid the fiery splendour,
The burnished resplendence,
Emblazoned, eternal,
Incarnate, infernal,
A feline conflagration,
Flickering in the dark,
And casting forth sparks,
As he burns through the evening
Like a candle through shadows,
Torching my dreams and my hopes
Till they shrivel in cinders
Of unfulfilled promise.
And only their embers remain,
Now that the fire lion has triumphed,
Now that the fire lion is gone.
Hi, did you create this image? I used to have the program that did stuff like this but I can't remember what it was called. Do you know?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't create the image - it's a public domain image that I found on the Net, sorry.

Sadly, I don't know where I found it online - it was quite some time ago. But if you use Google Image with this image, it will show you which websites include it.
