Fire Fright

In my dream, I stood by. A tragic horror, before my eyes. Burning fire, far below. What happened here no one knows. An evil woman stood upright, The people round her, black as night. A man accused of one small lie, Now his blood would burn bone dry. His fate a wicked woman chose, And a smell of burning flesh arose. His body jerked with all its might, Still he showed no signs of fright. My dream has ended, I came awake. Such a scare, my hands had quaked. I turned aside, my eyes struck by bright light. But with a puff of my breath, it was once again night.
