The Little Spark (Bushfire)

Iʼve been quiet for too long,
I want to belong.
Just a little spark will do, No one will have a clue.
Ahhh, finally I have the power!
Everything in my way, I will devour.
I rage through the lands,
Tearing everything up with my fiery hands.
Houses, cars and streets,
Lit up by my feet.
In the corner of my eye,
I see little red trucks nearby.
Just as Iʼm about to crush them,
They make me disappear into one little leaf stem.
Like magicians in a show,
They turn to do a little blow and off I go.
I finally realise what I had done,
And what a monster I had become.
I was the little spark,
That left a mark.
