Analysis of I am the fire



I am the fire. I burn and never go out. I flicker and rise and fall . Never ending wind tries to cool me and rain tries to drown me. I push away the dark as it pools around me. The animals see me and stay away. Children play with me and to their dismay get burned. I get any when the wind gives me too much food and I grow restless and run leap and bounds across the ground. The animals run from me. I am fire animals  fear me. I always the burning fire .
