Fire

Hear it flicker,

hear it roar.

Watch it scream,

watch it soar.

Watch dry ground 

come alive with flames

as red sweeps over 

rolling plains.

Fire rules

but man fights back

until they conquer the monster 

and red fades to black.

We don't know loss

until it hits us hard,

we don't know how to grieve

until we're scarred.
