She dances like a gypsy girl, leaping and sparking, beautiful and free. She is sunset and sunrise, an explosion of radiant colours, brimming with light and warmth. 1
And yet she is dangerous, destructive. She feeds off earth and wind, spreading, seeking to grow and escape. No matter how you try to control her, she’s boundless, unpredictable. She spreads through forests, cities, orchards, like a raging war, wiping out everything in her path. She is hate and fury, warmth and colour, life and death. 2

Wow, this is brilliant. I love it as usual! =D

This is a beautiful description of fire (assuming my guess is right!) I love the opening lines you used, they are so picturesque and full of imagery. The last line as well, it is so true. A great entry and best of luck in my contest

Oh my gosh. You have got to be a master at imagery. At least to me. Because this is wonderful. It is so seriously amazingly written, beautifully vivid and effing awesome. I'd tell you which part I loved the most, but then I'd have to say all of them. My gods, it's brilliant.
I hope you do well in the contest. Now I'm pretty sure I don't stand a chance.
