Light Night MAG
April 1, 2021
Lifts your eyes up in the sky,
Ignites the power around you,
Gives fire to the trees, they die.
Heavy sparks lifted, then flew.
Towering smoke over the town,
Nightfall now has the light of day.
In water the trees start to drown,
New life created as if clay.
Goodbye to the old smoky town.

My mom used to read me a book when I was younger about this town, all these people gethering up together and living as one, but as I have gotten older I realized that things that seem perfect always have the worst problems. When I was younger I thought " wow thse people must have such a great life together, " then I realized that this town that I thought was amazing have problems to, things bad can happen there too, and that town, that perfect life, that love, can be gone in a second.
