Wildfires burning


Though our air quality here is clear, 
The reddish fog in the distance serves 
 To warn us of the wildfires burning 
Elsewhere in our county and our state:
The acres of forest lost, houses endangered, 
Animals left homeless, roadways blocked, 
The fire fighters’ lives at risk. 
We lift our hands in a silent prayer 
 For the safety of all affected, and for rain.
