A Tree on Fire

I am home

Home to all those souls cradling in my branches

We are safe

And then the fire comes

A piece of plastic for a small spark 

We are safe

Right? 

It will go

Right? 

It happens again

Fires rage in my branches

And those who had a home are lost

But then

A seed in the ground

The fire shrinks

More seeds come

More plants grow

The fire still rages

But there might be hope
