Wisp of smoke rising up in the air,

from a distance as I saw it clear.

Amidst an endless stretch of green,

serpentine figure emerged so clean.

Slowly the beauty changed to a sight devilish,

to a bursting and burning, wildfire so impish.

A beauty a moment ago vanished to point untraceable

when a profound sight turned to a sight so horrible.

Suddenly the whole picture changed,

to smoky and hellish than ere appeared.

All I could do was to run away from the scene faster,

find a way to somehow avert and escape from disaster.

Birds flew out in flocks creating quite a noise,

what couldn’t escape were the poor tortoise.

All other animals hoofed away to safety,

some died,cried and fried,what a pity.

Days passed by and the amber turned to ash,

as a reminder to a destruction in a flash.

From where I stood ere, the view now altered,

to a barren,blackish and charred memories scattered.
