Nature Fire

The trees sway from side to side, 

The animals run away and hide. 

The flames crackle as it burns, 

Wiping out all the ferns. 

The leaves crisp and go very frilly, 

The flame is hot and burns like chilli. 

All we can hear are sirens of trucks, 

All we can do is wish for luck. 

We all clear out and burst into tears, 

I look around and see my deepest fears. 

Then I look down, a metre from my feet, 

This sight takes away my worry and heat. 

There on the small, sizzled log, 

Sits a tiny, trustful dog. 

I then forget about the worry and flame, 

While floating away is my grief and shame. 

This tiny dog helps me, she’s soothing like chimes, 

This tiny dog helps me in the toughest of times!
