Poems From The Heart

The Rising Flame

The fire started with a match
As a simple spark that landed in grass
That one little spark that people thought
Wouldn't turn into a fire so they forgot
That spark quickly grew and grew
And that entire night, no one knew
Because of their thoughtlessness, the fire spread
Throughout the forest in orange and red
Annihilating everyone in its path
Making sure everything feels its wrath
It spread through the forest as it glowed in the night
In the morning, people woke up to a great fright
So people, remember this lesson today
As you carry on throughout your day
To not underestimate that one little spark
It could make your bright day very dark
The spark could be anyone around you too
It could be the person standing right in front of you
Not trying to scare, just letting you know
That the sparks are very rare, but show
No matter how long it takes the rain
There will always be a rising flame
