the season of fire is coming
from April to well into June
the sun stares down from the blue
darkness stares down from the moon
the sky is a cloudless sea
the meadows and forests are dry
the omen is palpable
the wind only breathes a sigh
a careless spark in the swampland
from gods or the hand of man
and the Florida prairies are burning
as if this were part of the plan
when the rains of the summer return
the green will burst forth again
as the heavens deliver a flood
and the smoke disappears on the wind
the cycle of time never ends
though the planets collide out in space
the essence of life is a blessing
as its ashes conceal hope and grace

The known phaenomenon of the fires in Kalifornia from your poetical poin of view.Nicely seen.
I was thinking of Florida where I live. Fire is spring is a natural phenomenon sometimes enhanced by the hand of man. But the same is true of California but I believe more in summer than Spring. Here it rains everyday in summer.
