Fires

Before
Leaves fall, trees fall, some can come back.
Animals are caught, animals die, some are just fine.
People live on with one thing after another with the river keeping them all together.
During
Bang! Burning leaves, burning trees, how can we stop this.
Animals are burnt and hurt, some are turning into ash. How can we stop this nightmare?
There's a storm arising but no rain to come,
Bang! The power is out, candles are out. While the river is with a black heart
After
All the trees are black and are reaching out for help.
Animals are crying but so is our sky.
We are all grieving, but there is no one more hurt than our river
Now
All the trees are scarred but should not be scared
Some animals are fine some are on the edge of what is the devil
All is good but not what is happening to this world
