Suspended animation!
Fired altocumulus!
Raging horizon!
The last flames
before the embers;
Even they are wondrous!
A furnace at the
edge of the world,
Red-clouding my vision.
If hell looks like this,
then it’s heavenly!
Unreachable,
Untouchable;
Always distant!
Nature preening
like the peacock;
displaying in a
rush of colour
it’s magnificent
radiant beauty.
Infinite power!
A star!

No comma needed in 'Even they, are wondrous', and, being a bit hypocritical, you overuse and occasionally misuse the semi-colons. However, some lovely imagery, especially 'Nature preening, / like the peacock' (and no comma needed - the line break does the pause for you that you are trying to achieve). J x

Thanks Jen, cleaned it up a bit. I am wicked for the semi-colons; it's like a love affair that I can't get out of LOL. Thanks for reading ;)
