The Spark
With a crackle and spark,
It flies into the sky then falls down into the arms of a big oak tree,
At first it’s just a faint glow digging into the bark,
Then it digs dreeper finding its way to the heart,
Inside it bursts with excitement causing the oak to wither in pain,
An explosion of a redish-orange fills the night sky,
Running and finding more victums to inflame,
It flies, climbs and buries its way into the great heart of the large forest,
That one little spark can make the biggest disaster the world has ever seen
