From the smallest embers rise the beasts of fire like the Phoenix by
Nikesh Murali And the hot ashes from their flapping wings fall on snow-white clouds and plunge the earth into darkness. From the smallest embers I drew fire to trace your form on the forest floor And now walls of flame race through the landscape of twigs and thorns In the roar of this great fire, I hear the laughter of that single
ember.
