The nighttime sizzles
When skies turn into fire
During summer’s heat

Through forest paths of fallen pines
I dare not tread beyond the lines
Of trails once traveled by those before
Trampled pieces, laid on the floor
The forest creatures flee in fright
Their habitat, a dreadful sight
No shelter left from blazing heat
No protection for their feet
Nothing to shield the flames of fire
There is nothing left but fallen brier
A single match was all it took
To change the way the forest looks
Charred beyond, this sight, obscene
By man, who burned, the evergreen
Note: Human-caused fires burn more than 2. 5 million acres each year, or nearly 4,000 square miles — an area bigger than Delaware. (FoxNews US)

Thoughts..because of the terrorism attacks taking place around the world…Be safe.
The warmth was no more
Much like the black char of
An empty fireplace, barren
Of fire, a flame diminished
The heat, no longer, a spark
Doused by many, rekindled
By none, who knew not why
Nor how, to stoke the flames
Repair the resilience, before
Humanity, is but a pile of ashes

Sparks, of rhythmic fires, fly
Brightly burns and lights the sky
She is magic, a powerful flame
The moonlit night, is her domain
Barren lands lay wasted where
She walks upon, without a care
And leaves her mark, this earth to claim
A fiery being, of unearthly fame

Fire sets the sky aflame
As gilded gold shines
