You were like a fire
Ever so radiant,
So so beautiful
So robust and energetic
Yet so vicious and vigorous in your combustion
You ravaged everything in your path, causing forest fires and burning everything down
Causing less and less desire and value with each scorching flame
And I the earth, loved you, even when you decimated my hopes of working in cohesion with you, even when you set ablaze my forests, even when they told me don’t attempt to tame the fire, it will only consume you in its raging flames
And no matter how much time passes you’ll never recover from the pain
I saw the beauty in you
Because no one ever thought that earth could condense fire
Or that stone could keep it from eradicating the marvelous world around it
At the same time why control you?
When I can show you the virtue in your ire
Demolition always births new life
Because even with all the destruction you caused, and all the bleak looking landscapes and hopes for the future decimated by your ravaging,
A flower bloomed from the murky ground. And it more beautiful than the forest that lived before
