Hell on Earth

Image: Smoke Clouds ~ Jety

Red sunrise burningWind howling among the trees:Nature is unleashed

The beauty of fire:An unstoppable furyDancing on the wind

Eucalypt forest:Ancient trees of memoryScorched by angry flames

Smoke clouding the sky:Embers falling like raindropsIn the darkest light

Twenty years of lifeReduced to rubble and ash:We have each other

A fallen tree trunk:Cars abandoned by the roadToys scattered inside

Amidst the burnt grassA single flower remains:A lone miracle

The sadness of night:Survivors gather to prayTears fall down your face

A city of tents:Shelter and home to manyMemories survive

Red sunset fadingRaindrops falling to the ground:A young country mourns
