It Burns

Deep inside the core of the Earth

It burns- Giving out heat.

The scorching heat unbearable

The birds fly out from their cosy nests.

The blaze chars all in its way

Encompassing flora and fauna all alike.

Tender and vulnerable

The burrows are all empty.

The shacks all forlorn

Mankind struggling to

survive.

I yearn to break free

Away from the shackles.

Let me fly, float, flitter

Aloft deserting my brethren.

Into the land of light,

Where it’s always bright,

Darkness bids adieu.

Help me get there

To my heart’s desire.
