Fire Is Near
By Darby W
Hot summer days
Hot summer nights
The birds are a choir
Their voices make lights
Animals run
Animals flee
In front of our eyes
Lies fire we see
Fire as red as blood
Firemen are running
Sky filled with ash and smoke
Fire is now happy and humming
Now fire has stopped
But all is dark
Burnt trees are black bones
Mother Nature leaves her mark
Sun is shining once again
Children run, children play
We all pray for no more fires
For now, fire is gone a long way away
