Bushfire

I wake up to a blessed summer day
My friends are flying around
Suddenly, I blink
I’m surrounded by fire
It is hard to breathe
I fly away
All of our beautiful Gumtrees
Burning to the ground
Hundreds of trees burning to ash
My friends waiting on the other side
I fly
I get tired
The humans need to stop making fires in my home
