Fire. Emergency. Rescue.


Why does fire have to be so fatal?

How it locks in the house,

like a baby in a craddle.

 

And the flames, they choose to shine so bright.

Could they lead me the way

on this dark stormy night?

 

Would I follow the orange as it lights up the sky?

How it changes the clouds, 

to the color of my eye.

 

And will someone die?
