The Forest Fire
Inspired by the poem, The Longleaf Pine, by Spadecaller. "Limbs burn feathers flare; Nests of ashes white and bare, Nubs of grass blackened shine, Unclasped hands of naked pine. Old foot paths left unseen Black charcoal rain rinsed clean. From charred ruins these trees grow high, Like phoenix rising from ash to sky. Behold, the longleaf pine is my life; Tried by fire and saved by strife".
