In The Wake Of A Blaze

In the stillness of twilight, an ember takes flight.

A flicker of orange, a spark in the night.

The air grows dry, awaiting a brawl.

As flames take hold and begin to sprawl.

A fury of destruction, the flames come near.

Trees turned ashes, nature tears.

Bushes stripped naked, shivering in fear.

But through the chaos, a story unfolds.

A tale of courage and hearts of gold.

While nature weeps and families mourn.

Through the ashes, life’s reborn.
