A Flamboyant Amber

Fire, Drama, Mystery

A flame igniting a flamboyant amber,

foaming water shot through the air,

people on the streets sharing fear,

as the smoke spilled into their eyes,

humid breeze carried the cries,

as the blackness from the smoke filled the skies,

Company Number Two was the last to arrive,

then the horror struck,

penetrated the heart,

visions of sorrow ripped it apart,

A blizzard of eyes stared at the sky,

as a child walked on the roof,

and not ready to die,

apparently was trapped inside,

frustration and anger had its fill,

as each face that looked up was frozen with chill,

as the harsh reality set in,

and the flames punished the building,

knocking the child off,

everyone watched as the child seemed to fall in slow motion,

but through all the mess, and the commotion,

it was Company Number Two who reacted,

They saved the child from the fall,

a life spared and proud emotions standing tall,

as everyone gathered to wish the child well,

then there was a mystery, a strange story to tell,

everyone turned to thank the firemen who knew exactly what to do,

but when they looked around,

there was no Company Number Two.

With such wonderful skills at describing a scene such as this I would've imagined you had witnessed this exact scenario yourself! I could feel myself among the blizzard of eyes, hoping that the child would not die. The terrible anger...for all must've assumed she would die. Only to be saved by an omnipotent savior. I enjoy this piece very much indeed and I was a bit puzzled by Company Number Two. I took it as an interpretation for god. He saved the girl and when the people wanted to thank him, he wasn't there. Mysterious indeed!
