The fire goes up
up and up it rises
bringing down the roof
burning all the furniture
going up all through the night
with the fire engines rushing
could not extinguish the flames
until everything turned to cinders
the ash lay on the arena
a scene so ghastly as ever
all that shone and glittered
a few minutes ago
now have become black and dark
with no character whatsoever
that be the power of fire.

One reply on “The Fire Rises.”
Fire can be so destructive…we’ve had a number of brush fires that have damage homes in the region.
