Blue waters flow,
from the hills to below,
flowing past trees,
flowers, and gardens with peas.

Still going by
there's now smoke in the sky
closer and closer the river does get
picking up pace bit by bit

Winding and turning,
while the wild fire's burning
Trees crashing down
on the innocent town

People are screaming
while the fire is gleaming
building with rage
as it kills the poor sage

bright orange and red
some animals still in bed.
They need to hurry
before they fell fire's fury.

Too late for them,
and the flower and it's stem.
They're gone, they're dead,
No more to be said.

Water now drops
on all the tree tops,
coming to it's last
fire and water both pass.

The fire becomes still
no longer to kill,
the haze is ascending,
and the water's path ending.

This is near to my heart, I live where 600,000 acres is burnt and still burning.  The only title I can think of is, "Anew". God takes away and then replenishes. May not help, but I really enjoyed reading this.
