NaPoWriMo Day 24...Titanium

I opened my synonym book to a wonderful page that began with 'coalesce'. It's become a new favorite word. Also, I had to get a little nerdy and use some work vernacular...Also, fun fact, did you know that when heat above 600 degrees C is applied to titanium that it will ignite, and nothing can stop its burn?

Titanium 

We are titanium 

strong, unyielding 

but it took us  

through sponge 

and weld fire, 

white hot arc, 

for us to coalesce. 

It took us years  

to find our elements 

co-mingled, but now 

together we forge 

new patterns 

tempered. 

Our bodies burned  

into the furnace 

fire and pressure, 

we ignite 

as if our bodies 

held starlight.
