When Nature Cried
The Fire ran fast from tree to tree,
Engulfing all there was to see,
And nothing could escape the wrath
It had for all within its path!
The Wind was sad because it knew
How it had helped the flames renew
And spread so fast without a care
For life that once existed there.
So, as a way to ease his sin,
The Nature did bring Gray Cloud in
To hide from God what had been done,
Since there was no place good to run.
But when Gray Cloud saw what had died,
Compassion filled him and he cried
Because the beauty that lived on
For centuries had quickly gone!
Their tears fell on the lifeless ground
And as they did, they made a sound
Which caused our God to see what had
Occurred to make the clouds so sad.
He saw the ground with all its pain,
Then let the rain erase the stain
Upon the ground where life had been
And slowly would return again.
The wind saw this and felt much fear
As God looked up and said, "Come Here!"
Which he did and heard God say,
"I will forgive your sins today!"
