Flames

Voracious in their hunger,
they roar across the rain-starved plains
with a power unleashed
in the rage of thunder, 
an army of massive proportions
unrivalled by anything
in the mind of man. 

They leave behind them
destruction
in the deepest inks of darkness,
shrouded in ominous swirls of smoke,
and the deafening echo
of silence. 

And in this darkest moment
begins rebirth
