A Burning Mishap

A spark erupts, setting alight a formidable flame. Casting ascending vivid flickers of amber gleaming. Ignited fervor, unbeknownst from whence it came. The ominous blaze glares through the windows beaming. A thunderous crackle incites a violent burn. Engaged by inferno, timber joists integrity weakens. As smoke engulfs the structural core in turn. Roaring fevered holocaust ensues the blight it beacons. Heroic sirens wail in desperation, hastily traversing town. To cease the fiery devastation, cast upon the vastly disintegrating abode. With forceful halt upon arrival, a bursting hose aimed toward the chateau's fallen crown. Blasts of saturation work to snuff the flames encapsulating trusses, frame, and lode. Now left with smoldering embers, a result of amnesic mistake. A forgotten glowing candle, leaving destruction in its wake.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
