Life in a world of ashes

A sleepy forest

rustling leaves

the tweets and squeaks echo through the forest of life

a spark of crimson red appears in the tree's heart

the tiny candle erupts into a flame

squeals of pain reverberate around the forest

the land of green transformed into a graveyard of scarlet

the flames lick all the living, turning them into mountains of ash

consuming the world in deadly flames

choking the land of life

many perish

little survives

all are scarred

all are scared

and all fight for life

finally the death trap goes out

a world of ashes remain

all is silent...until

a little green sprout pops out of the ground 

a new life has begun.
