THE GREAT FIRE OF 1394

a great fire arose

and burned through my life.

i was left with nothing

but the painful and desolate aftermath.

my broken heart

called out into the gray haze

without reply.

forsaken and tormented,

i crumbled as ashes into the

ashes of my life

and what was.

ashes upon ashes,

days went by

that turned into weeks.

weeks gone months

and years pass by.

finally hope from the heavens

a shade of green

bathed in white light.

preparing me for the morning

and the end of this brutal night.
