The Fire in Your Backyard

what’s the fire in your backyard?

do you notice it? did you notice it?

did you smell it from the front lawn?

do we all have fires in our backyards?

if the smoke bellows up,

how high and how wide will it burn?

how high will it shake and level the trees?

how will the wind slam against your home,

and cause more fire to bellow up again.

and again.

or is there no fire at all?

is your backyard put together, and beautiful.

with the dryest corner of a few logs that are..

ready to burn. on a night against the

shining stars.

fires are beautiful aren’t they,

but they can get out of control.

i only have one question,

what’s the fire in your backyard?

and how long will you let it burn.
