The ashes raged wildly into thick smoke
The dark clouds caught memories of times passed
They were skeptics of their own hands at work
This was their tragedy, their burning home
When the pale of water fell into the wishing well
This was THEIR cinder crisis

As families grieved at their losses
When the delay of reflexes succumbed to guilt
It was the regrettable target of their act
When fatal outcomes became common causes
That which made the turn of time unforgettable
That was A cinder crisis

It took time and patience to peak into its depths
Of the vast nature of seas
The diverse worlds of the forests
And lended a new sense of mystery
To the insignificance of humankind
That was ITS cinder crisis

The destruction we had created
Was burned like coal
When the remains were nothing more but sand
The decimated volcanic rock left
To pollute the airs subtle clarity
That was OUR cinder crisis
