Ember

Lightning howls a loud sound, 
The tree wanting comfort, but nothing around to grant it 
Ash lays deep within its roots, 
Its friends falling slowly down to become one with the earth 
 
They’re not particularly as sad as they are 
Disappointed 
Something so bright, enticing and beautiful 
Took everything considered to be company. 
 
All except one tree. 
Left to battle the persistent winds. 
Alone.

A forest, bustling with life. Is transformed from lively to dead.
