Definition:
A pyre is a carefully arranged stack meant to hold flame, often used in rituals of farewell or transformation. As fire rises through it, shapes fade into smoke and ember. The sight carries a solemn gravity, marking an end that is both final and cleansing. Pyres glow with intense heat, but their purpose reaches beyond light alone. They stand as symbols of closure, passage, and the return of form to ash.
