Bushfire

Gum leaves fall
As the heat starts to rise
Trying to run from the bellowing black sky
Hungry and thirsty
Looking for food
How will I survive in this black bellowing boom
The heat is as hot as lava
Making its way through the foresting drama
All the birds fly to get away from the big black monster
The sky orange and red
Feeling the heat of a summer’s head
How will I survive until next summer’s lead
