I used to listen, intensely,
as I walked through tunnels of trees,
straining to hear leaves breathe
and birds sing
casual harmonies
oblivious to future fires
that will cackle with thunder
and blow the ashes of warnings
while lava crawls
undoing the hands of man

OPTION 1
I do mean "cackle" and NOT "crackle" with thunder. as an sort of an evil laugh

oh the shining bright gold trophy! excellent job with this piece. Seems to me that you deserve it very much. I loved the 3rd and 4th line... such beauty expressed there, it felt very peaceful. I felt that the birds were really singing such harmonies. Very beautiful imagery... it dripped so much of this.
Have a blessed day. (and thanks so much for your comment)
