117 Branch on Fire

117.

Branch on Fire



Up above the tree

Of courage and bravery

It fell down lazily

To burning trash underneath thee



Then a beast to man a bestfriend

Came by as if to defend

This twig from being churned

In order to be mend



From stone the twig was gone

Going elsewhere for a run

With its host like an Olympian

As if chasing the sun.
