What would the fires raging in California say to the world?
What would the wind from Hurricane Maria demolishing Puerto Rico sound like?

Far away lanterns, simple candles just out of reach of the child's wondering fingers My warmth spreads as a colony of fireflies float from my palms How sweetly they roam spreading my light By: Teacher Ky Klaver |
Fire
In the heart of the forest deep there is a monster fast asleep The forest's heart beats soft as a winged dove yet when unleashed its beast rages. The ground is dead the air is thick smoke rises high. high. higher. until the forest, monster and all, burns no more. By: Teacher Ky Klaver |
