Ungodly Wraith

wraith of biblical proportion

 

To be able, to live in California, has always been a dream of mine

Now I have the opportunity to live Nappa Valley

My house, sits on the side of a mountain, which is perfectly fine

Such a beautiful place, I know this was the place, I was meant to be.

 

I bought this place, using what someone would call my life savings

When I arise early enough, I see a sunrise, unlike any other on the entire planet

The people here are so friendly, to this wonderful place I always wish to cling

I know fate led me here, I know to this place,I was God sent.

 

Vine yards are right up the road from me

Going here, I can get some of the best wine, I have ever tasted

From here, I never want to flee, there is no reason that I see

In this place, my idea of beauty is always fed.

 

One night, as I was fixing dinner for my family and I

A knock comes at my front door, wonder who it is? I'm not expecting anyone

Opening the front door, there are two policemen standing there, I really have to wonder as to why

They tell me of a wildfire, headed this way, that has been burning since the setting of the sun.

 

I tell them I understand, then I go to find my husband, so to him, I can talk ad we can make plans

We decide to send our children to my mother, as we decide like in frontier days, our land we will defend

With the children safe, we start throwing water upon the top of our house, doing in and everything we can

We invested everything we had into this place, so we will fight the fire, that from hell, the devil sends.

 

This has to be a flash fire, because the fire itself, is already upon us, right in our back yard

We try so hard to fight this thing with water hoses, as it dances ad destroys everything in it's path

The orange and yellow flames, start to consume our dream home, helplessly watching this is so very hard

As we watch our dream go up in smoke, we realize the devastating caused by fire and it's ungodly wraith.
