the flame that flickered
warm and bright
danced through the woods
as it lit up the night
it popped and snapped
and rose up higher
as it charred the woods
with the scar of the fire
the creatures ran to flee
from the heat
with the sound of thunder
from the pounding of feet
the smoke that rose covered
the sky overhead
like a blanket that tucks
a child to bed
it blazed through the branches
and pranced across the ground
with a thrashing noise
a rumbling sound
a new birth for the timber
a fresh new start
for a young new Forrest
with a fire as it heart
