Burning by =Sunny-McAzn

A sapling sits,
watching his forest burn to ashes,
hoping the rains will come
and bring renewal to a wasteland.

The young tree gazes
as his sanctuary is ablaze,
a pot of deep glowing hues,
praying this is the end
and the forest will regenerate again,
stronger than ever.

An aged tree,
weathered beyond the years,
allowing fires to rip through his home
when he wistfully wonders,
if he will have to keep watching
as he takes his final breaths.
