On my morning walk
gathering festoons of pine cones
I saw smoke arising in the distance
where the sun shone
The place was an abandoned cabin
where the owners had planted grapes
among the pine trees
in various shapes
Surreptitiously creeping closer
seeing raisins on the ground
attempting to determine the cause
I walked around
Some resin from the trees
appeared to be the spark
there was a small fire burning
consuming the bark
Throwing some dirt
putting out the fire
a relief to the wild life
before the situation became dire
The sun filtered the smoke
through the trees
the air became clear
making it easy to breathe
Resuming my walk
enjoying some grapes
leaving the forest
grateful that some vines escaped
