Now, here’s a short poem.

A while back, I wrote some poems for a writing class I was taking. I figured it’s time to share one with you all. Here it goes …


 


World on Fire


 


The power of nature beckoned my call,

called for my soul, called for us all,

to witness it raw. Behold, it said, as it exploded in

white. The outline of Devils Tower locked in my sight,

in a shadow of black as the hour struck late,

and my friends and I laid back to appreciate

just how majestic this storm that rolled in. Yet,

not a drop of rain from the clouds fell,

to pull us out of our hypnotic spell.

The wind lashed at the fire blazing between us, the dying embers a reminder

of how fast our lives can disintegrate. And I laid there with a smile—the world on fire,

the sky a strobing backdrop of the cosmos in dire

consequence.

And a boom from the heavens came, with the Devil’s

gargantuan form candescent

in the spiderweb formation spreading out

like the fingers of monstrous

Intent.

And yes, I smiled, to lay witness to this child,

of nature at its most awesome and raw.
