Sweetie

Sweetie

A hot summer’s night

Red light glowing in the distance

Smoke laying low

Taxing both the lungs and the soul

Amid the danger

A life far distant

Almost missed among the commotion

But nature’s pulse cannot be ignored

Covered in soot

She makes her way
Their arms open

Salvation awaits

From the ashes of the forest

Comes an injured being

Dropped off at the station

Her every need met

Her name unknown, treated my man

While healing the souls of mankind

If only for a short moment

We understood the Animal Kingdom
