When a passing cloud
might meet another
and together unleash
Lightning
On thirsting ground
our significant spark
Strikes
Bone-brittle tinder
buoyed by the quiet
breeze, an ember
smolders until
Evening wind blows,
carries, smoking wisps
upon its wings into
the forest
Sighs into crackling
summer leaves until
the canopy
burns
So take note of every
passing cloud, because
you never know
