No rain has come,
The forest dry,
A lightning strikes..
This tinder box.
Trees explode,
The ground ablaze..
Wind fed fury,
Nothing safe.
The forest burns,
For days and nights..
No rains come,
None in sight.
All is gone,
The forest burned..
Smoke and embers fill the air.
A time has passed..
New growth appears..
Over time,
The earth does heal.
