Desire like a flame stoked to an inferno

Blazing, burning, unyielding

Out of control

Destruction

Scorched earth, the absence of life

Blackened, ashen, empty

From the cremated remains of desire

A touch of green, new growth

Old charred forests give way to fragile and new

Tender shoots, rebirth

Desire once consumed by fire, sprouting into compassion

Love

Loyalty

Partnership

The timber had to burn, to make way for the meadow
