The fires burn,
Sending out the spark of light.
Casting shadows,
Making the night seem darker.

Staring into the flames,
Darkness playing at my back,
Trying hard to draw me in.

The flames of gold and red,
Of sunlight and blood,
Offering hope,
Light,
Joy,
Passion,
Love.
It is night in your Seven Kingdoms now, but soon the sun will rise again. The war continues, Davos Seaworth, and some will soon learn that even an ember in the ashes can still ignite a great blaze. The old maester looked at Stanis and saw only a man. You see a king. You are both wrong. He is the Lord's chosen, the warrior of fire. I have seen him leading the fight against dark, I have seen it in the flames. The flames do not lie, else you would not be here. It is written in the prophecy as well. When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake the dragons out of stone. The bleeding star has come and gone, and Dragonstone is the place of smoke and salt. Stanis Baratheon is Azor Ahai reborn!
You do not believe me. You doubt the truth of R'hllor even now...yet have served him all the same and will serve him again. I shall leave you here to think on all I have told you. And because R'hllor is the source of all good, I shall leave the torch as well.


That is what inspired this poem. Thankyou George RR Martin.
