FLAMES A GLOWING
The flames a glowing
Ablaze
Sparks rising in the air
Flickering
Sparks a glow
Fire burning hot
Orange
Gold
Yellow
Like an inferno
Funeral pyre
Firestorm
Without the rage
Anger
Wrath
The flames so high
Burning with a desire
A memento
A remembrance
A tribute
A commemoration
To their once Alpha King
His spirit lives on
His soul
His essence
His life-force
The atmosphere that was brought to the pack
Compassion
Personality
His leadership
Control
Guidance
Governance
Assured his supremacy
Authority
Power
And domination
Over the pack
He is missed
Kith and kin
Brothers and sisters
Mourn their loss
But he will never be forgotten
They may howl and howl
But his world is elsewhere
His light will shine forever
Casting it out so that it can be seen
And never forgotten
His spirit lives on
With those of the pack
His family
