23 fires.<\/p>\n
23 birds of flames<\/p>\n
23 dragons let loose.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each blazing a path<\/p>\n
as they devour everything<\/p>\n
and leave a scorched trail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
People chased from homes<\/p>\n
to take refuge in a nearby towns.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this Hell?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAZ in Hell.\u201d<\/p>\n
These words were spelled to truth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now prayers are being said<\/p>\n
to bring water.<\/p>\n
We pray for rain in a time of drought<\/p>\n
to quench the forest\u2019s thirst.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As it does,<\/p>\n
in small amounts<\/p>\n
like someone accidently<\/p>\n
tied a knot in the sky\u2019s hose.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It came down<\/p>\n
as it teased us,<\/p>\n
like an older brother that<\/p>\n
pretends to throw her sister in the water.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We cry,\u201d where\u2019s the rain!\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally our cries were heard.<\/p>\n
A shower from Heaven came down,<\/p>\n
as is God held back<\/p>\n
all the rain<\/p>\n
in a plant a waterer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
