there in your wake i fan the flame
desperate for it's destruction
spurred by fear of a creeping freeze
whelming down with force worrisome

flame i've stoked to an inferno
raging forward in such rampage
reigniting fires of the past
scratching open the old scarring

now left a scorched and broken earth
harrowed and ready for healing
with ache from all that is damaged
longing ever at what's now lost
