Turmoil

Flames,
Twisting, Twirling,
Licking at everything they can reach.
Watching the orange fingers reach,
Curling around every object.
Orange turns to blue,
Blue into purples, greens, and even bright white.
Flames causing utter chaos,
A world tuning upside-down.
Tunnel vision,
Focus on the flames.
Trying to extinguish them,
Then realizing they refuse to be put out.
Why won't this fire die?
Stricken by the realization,
The flames are not real,
They are an imagery of turmoil in ones life.
