Nature Said Hello

Nature said hello
As fire endlessly ate
Viciously he took everything he saw
The wisest of the trees tried moving
But he was quite literally rooted to the spot
He heaved and he huffed but wouldn’t budge
When fire found him, he was as good as gone
After all was gone and fire ate its fill
Nature sighed and left them to
Wind however was outraged
In a snuff, fire was no more
However, he knew there was nothing he could do
