Fire Hope

Out comes the fire brigade,
Now the fire begins to fade,
Yet we met a better way,
So after fire there is a hope ray,
Back-burning, back-burning, back-burning,
The cogs of new life begin turning and churning,
Hope after fizzling fire,
Hope that Mother Nature does desire,
New life to grow,
The wind helps the seeds blow,
Coaching invasive plants away,
But that is not all I have to say,
Blocking further death,
No one's final breath,
No one has to cry,
No one has to say goodbye,
Ten year wall,
Unable to fall,
Fire doesn’t just howl and howl,
Fire isn’t all that foul.
