Fire Hymn Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Fire Hymn



Fire builders, we shall pile the twigs
Here in this square of sacrifice,
Here in this place of sacrifice,
Here in this home of fire
We shall trick out a fire,
Fire that is freed by smoke,
Fire that is chained by smoke.

Fire that is freed by smoke,
Leap higher now that you can see
The higher standing vacancy
To which the flames aspire,
Leap higher, Fire.
