Fire Starter

Serenity blew in with an autumn wind.
A fire starter who knew not that she sinned.
Her inferno took out the forest all night.
Fire that destroyed every tree limb in sight.
Serenity left without knowing it was her.
Her conscious clean and her naivety pure.

I'm afraid it doesn't happen that way so many times...that the starter of these fires knows what they are doing and seem to enjoy it. Tragic!

I think it was sometimes innocent before Smokey Bear appeared on TV and let us know how easily a spark can respark in a bonfire.
