Black Bark

Ash falls across the dying land
The trees are burning hot like sand
Fire spreads as fast as wind
The bark is black, the trees are not sure.
I see a light that is not nice.
It's hot, it burns and it crackles in the night.
I hear squeaks, is it a possum?
I will help no matter what.
Black bark, stop the fire, it's burning down the trees and nature.
