Crackle, crackle, roar…

By Leanne Elliott 

Hear them calling?
Calling
Calling

Hear them falling?
Falling
Falling

Crackle, crackle, roar

Racing along
The carpeted
Bushland floor
What was…. is no more

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Watch the gusting winds
On which the embers ride

Heat and smoke
Burn and choke

Hear them calling?
Hear them falling?
Crackle, crackle, roar
