Another Life... Another Fire

Fire blazing
charcoal ashes

tinging the air,

their home their life lost in this scare.

I see pale faces fleeing

brimming with tears,

now the world has brought

forth one of their fears.

two elements meet

in a war, each one leaving

a damaging score.

Cries and wails

echo through the sky,

another life gone

why must we say good bye?

Author notes

So many people lose their lifes in fires and I think it is so sad, that an element can be such an enemy... We must all be aware of fire safety. (fire picture) courtesy of www.art.com Ladybug lands on Lee

Very creative, and you are very caring to people. Yes, I know that some people die in fires. Spotted a mistake: you spelt crys wrong, it's cries. Keep up the good work.
