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.
