Surprise
What if the water,
Fell apart then caught fire,
And the ashes burned scars in our skin?
When the wind took away,
The pain we had gained,
Would we remember how it felt to be burned?
Would we remember how it felt for the wind to give us relief?
Or would we wonder why it happened in the first place?
