The Fire

Just poetry folks, not reality.

The fire spread quickly,

My thoughts all a blaze.

Seems escape is impossible,

Try as I will, in a daze.

 

Fear blinds my emotions,

As I try to find a window.

Nothing but choking smoke,

Soon I'll be but a cinder.

 

Woke up in a hospital,

A mummy never looked so good.

Wraped from head to toe,

Knowing what I withstood.

Great imagery. But the poor folks that I encountered that have suffered severe burns can't seem to stand being wrapped up. Their remaining skin has to be free and probably the only time it isn't giving them tremendous pain is in warm water.

No doubt about it--fire evokes fear. Not a pleasant duo.
Makes me shudder to think of it.

Good thing I noticed the "..not reality"! I read it and thought, 'Oh, no!'. Then I re-read the notice at the top. Thank goodness this didn't happen to you!

Love ya!

Horrible was to die. Even more horrible way to survive.
