Rise Up Through the Ashes

 A fire rages wildly

Destroying everything within its path

Everything turns to ashes and dust
The environment that once flourished
With the vivid colors of wild flowers

And trees towering above with shafts of light beaming through the openings

Is now open and desolate

But with time, a glimmer of hope beings to rise through

Like a phoenix rising up through the ashes
Life beings to take place once again
The ground begins to heal its burns
The color and trees being to rise up from the newly healed soil
And everything returns to normal once again
