Volcano
My head was buzzing,I couldn't get up,
If I didn't go now I'd be terribly stuck.

Lights were flashing,the sky was ablaze,
I struggled to see far, my mind was a maze.

Closer I looked and then I could see,
The lava was coming, about to burn me.

The volcano erupted right up to the stars,
Scorching the planets of Venus and Mars.

I could see the danger,it was in my eyes,
I had no escape, no help or diguise.

The fire was alive, it flickered an flew,
It scattered the sand, in the wind it blew.

No one to help me, I felt all alone,
Had to escape, needed to go home.

So into the darkness I started to descend,
Staying where I was could have led to the end....
