Fynn Michaels Poet Free verse

Come Nightfall

Come nightfall

The sun beacons the darkness
I stare at its setting glow and fading light
The sweet ocean breeze now bitter

I look back at the forest behind me
Trees and foliage cloud my judgment
I take a match and strike
The flames burning into the darkening night

I take a breath, smoke and ash filling my lungs
But i don’t run
Instead i turn back to the crashing waves
The ocean is calm

With a sigh, i stare at the burning trees
The burning leaves
And the burning birds

I take a step forward, the sand cold beneath my feet
The cool water invites me,
The fire glowing brighter.

I step back and stare at the rising sun
The forest now green
The waves now crashing
