Fire

FIRE Fires burn waste and fire burns home Igniting the ugly and the lovely the same Roaring flames take lives and leave alone Extinguishing for earth’s sake though lingers pain Formerly were lives that mattered And cats and dogs who once were brothers And a place that stood not at all battered Those children and grannies and significant others But, the death of memories will vaguely play The visions were given to strengthen souls And will prevail on that final day When man and beast enter heaven or Scheol What matters is that all senses do see Living through fires, lessons well taught to thee.
