Smoke and Fire

The sky looks like smoke and fire Boiling from the Southwest The silhouetted trees seem to be burning Ablaze from fire in the sky Roosters are unaffected with the show Still cock-a-doddling the morning into day They are joined by one lone crow look-out Who is letting the others know danger is near Whitey comes around preening and stretching For the morning, loosing those joints While the sky is continuouly changing From glory to glory while the world moves on Just like the cat, not even noticing The spectacular are displayed in the sky One day in the sky the King will Come with his display and every eye will see Now there is a cloud floating carrying The blaze on it's backside It is as if the smoke conceals The blaze just before the blaze explodes It is as if fierce combustion Is going to spring forth Lighting up the world With a glowing burning sky The air is chilling me to the bone For it is damp and cold Out on the porch at sunrise Thank you Lord for the few minutes with you and nature
