Shatter Into Flames

I've watched you from the branches of my burnt tree.

I’ve watched flames dance and ashes flutter down onto the forest floor.

I’ve watched the scorching heat crawl up tree trunks.

I’ve watched the smothering smoke creep up to the orange sky.

I’ve watched bushes burst ablaze.

I’ve watched my home reflected in the blur of the smoke.

I’ve watched my life shatter into flames.
