Playing with fire

Tree blossoms fly falling
Calling upon names
Beauty appalling

Offending those with burnt egos
Trying to let go of favorite legos

Tennis balls binding
A pile of matches
Ignited on carpet
Daring the house to stand up to its flames.

Quick into action
Inaction proves costly
Do you leap into movement
Or take stock while the forest burns down
Creeping 1000 miles and hour
Toward your toes
Transcending time beyond ground.

An inferno for your great grandchild's children.
