Torchbearer.

This one was something I wrote for a painting that I did a while back that portrays an elephant blowing out fire from its elevated trunk. I couldn't post the painting because honestly, the idea of it in my head was very well conceptualized and the actual work of art turned out to be not what I had visualized(I hate when that happens). So here is just the caption for the painting, which is actually a poem titled 'Torchbearer':

Torchbearer

His grey trunk quivered
As yellow flames winnowed,
Engulfing the seeping
Darkness that ruled.

He stood by and watched
The transcendent facade
With resolute diligence.

For, he was the
Regal ruler of Light.
The torchbearer.
He who exiled all things dark.
