Wildfire

  • I've been on my own
    as long as I remember
    An ornery stretch of hardwood content to wait his turn
    Then you fluttered by
    a brightly burning ember
    you set my world on fire babe, sat back and watched it burn

    A single spark on the summer plains
    Ignites the dark into a field of dancing flames
    We gave in to the simplest of desire
    And watched that spark turn to wildfire

    Then the sky busted open
    Like the book of Revelations
    The smell of Bulleit Rye and brimstone filled the August air
    Never meant for this to happen
    Complete and utter devastation
    A flame that burns this bright is a flame that don't burn long

    So here I am standing
    On the site of something tragic
    Cooled ash and scourged earth is all that we've left to show
    And if there's one thing I've learned
    There's a part of death that's magic
    Destroying something to make way for something else to grow Writer/s: BJ Barham
