The Struggle by Alex Hoyte

The smoke spirallled its way toward the sky,

clashing and climbing ever onwards,

as though in some kind of agressive race,

each particle of smoke wanting to be the first,

to disappear into the clouds above.

Far below the fire raged on,

flaring in places as if threatening to engulf you,

even from a distance you could feel the heat,

and hear the fire crackle daring you to come closer,

then suddenly the entire structure collapses,

and the struggle comes to an end.
