Analysis of Life Ablaze
Life, a spark, is the birth
Breath of earth, deep in dirt
Blown desert, weeping sand
No man's land, flame shall burn
Grow, love, learn, and embark
Life, a flame, withstand age
Born the sage, wise of mind
Heart aligned, beating strong
Hear it's song, fire burst
Soul immersed, without aim
Life, does flash, within time
Does past mime, recreate
Bound to fate, clinging air
Unaware, death appears
New frontiers flies the ash
