Burning---Thoughts from Canada

Burning…

A smoky haze engulfs our Earth

We watch, perched atop a mountain, like an eagle

We dare not soar into its plume

We seek the current that sweeps us higher from this doom

Away from flame and smoke and dread

I circle as I watch the dead

They were warned and they were told

From those who stood so strong and bold

But sadly they did listen not

To them came the death they sought.

Of each struggle for a breath

Some fought more and some fought less

But death still came as they watched in fear

Loss of life as they shed a tear

But even those were lost in heat

As the wind did swirl beneath their feet

Their spirits soared and their lone souls weeped

And as the planet was set on fire

Our world became a funeral pyre.


Note....Dedicated to those who know and believe that woodsmoke will and has prematurely caused the death of millions on this Earth. That is why we must fight on…or millions more will continue to die.
