Through The Flickering Flames

The sounds from the shrill sirens,
Were heard for miles away,
It meant that someone was hurting,
In some big dangerous way.

Through the thick flickering flames,
That seem to reach the sky,
As only ashes lay on the ground,
Kept the firemen asking reasons why.

What has caused this disaster,
Something mysterious has gone wrong,
There was no one close to the building,
The family was all out of town.

Through the ashes, they found a picture,
Of someone very old and dear,
Someone who lived with them shortly,
But haven't been around, now for years. 

By it lay a blackened piece of jewellery,
Known well by all the family,
Could it be so , has she come back,
To cause this terrible tragedy.

The search for clues soon came to an end,
With only one thought in the case,
They'd rather let go, then fight with the dead,
Resting blame on that deathly face.
