Burned Down


When a forest burns down,
it starts coming back to life within months.

When a house burns down,
the owner often rebuilds on the same foundation.

When a nation burns down,
there's no telling what will grow in its place.

Stirring the Ash

Try looking for that golden wedding ring
Whose blood can teach a pantry maid to sing.
It let poor Cinderella once convince
A pumpkin was a coach and royal prince.
This planet burns to be reborn, but life
Does not: some species have no afterlife.
