Draped in bridal red Amidst widowed landscapes she stands With her veil swaying gently in the breeze And blossoms tinkling at her feet Fractured light decorates her Revealing rubies hiding in her tresses She brings forth her veil Shading weary scorched souls An oasis Amidst desolate desert sands The forest fire rages Against fate which brought upon us this drought Rekindling hope Of new birth and mercy And rages Until it's time for gentle showers and soothing greens Then tired Sleeps until the end of spring
