Born of Fire

Rising. Falling. The Last Flame.

By Antoni De'LeonPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

I am Flame, rising majestic. Antediluvian.

Formed before the deluge of flooded words

engulfed the megafauna of the social landscape

Fiery. Ethereal. Born of fire -

Created from vibrant cosmic written nebulas.

I am dynamic, a shadow of chiaroscuro lighting.

I swirl, psychedelic - Awaking...

In a deep, star-filled expanse of creativity.

I contrast between light and dark

Voluminous and three-dimensional in psyche.

I am Mood, depth, form, light and shadow.

I rise dramatic, burning and mysterious

Atmospheric noir...the darkest part of the light...

I am the transition between the highlight and the shadow.

Reflected light that bounces from blackened darkness.

Emerging from the dark places

providing shade

becoming subtle illumination to the umbriferous spaces.

A Fiery flame dying, exuding one last hurrah,

Fading

Exhaling my last breath!

    What a way to describe an artist of any persuasion. This would be a great poem to introduce some terms to a beginning art lesson. Good job.
