The color of fire in this creature’s lungs

The color of fire in this creature's lungs
Is the token of truth that escapes his tongue,
The deepest majesty of existence;
All good flows from this source, for instance
His energy on the ladder's rungs.

For quite some time the fact has stung,
Despite his best attempts he's wrung
The smallest bit of the richness's semblance,
The color of fire in this creature's lungs.

Burning still in torches hung
Within his innard halls, far-flung
His sorrows are cast by the persistence
Of love enveloping like incense;
Envision how it shines when swung,
The color of fire in this creature's lungs.
