I can see a smoky haze The billowing fire died down Once clouds of blackness Obscured the bright sky One flick of a matchstick And a single spark Enough to spread the mayhem Caught off guard Every dried leaves and sticks Came into the lure of mighty fire Flowing like a raging ocean Flames gallop like wild horses Forests are bogged down To become ashen-faced Once a glorious site Now ravaged by mighty flames Spiraling out of control Winds give wings to the flames They travel far and wide Across the forest floors Unruly flames engulf everything Sooner flames will die down But the smoky haze will obfuscate The vision to look beyond It’s a maddening haze   From the fury of embers

Smoky Haze
I can see a smoky haze The billowing fire died down Once clouds of blackness Obscured the bright sky One flick of a matchstick And a single spark Enough to spread the mayhem Caught off guard Every dried leaves and sticks Came into the lure of mighty fire Flowing like a raging ocean Flames gallop like wild horses Forests are bogged down To become ashen-faced Once a glorious site Now ravaged by mighty flames Spiraling out of control Winds give wings to the flames They travel far and wide Across the forest floors Unruly flames engulf everything Sooner flames will die down But the smoky haze will obfuscate The vision to look beyond It’s a maddening haze   From the fury of embers
