In the western skies;
the sun delays leaving,
still radiant giving off a
feeling of peace.
The smoke from the fire
beyond the hills cast a
blushing haze toward the
clouds.
Shadows rise around the
barren knolls where no
birds sing, the air thick
black and menacing.
The sun gives false
serenity, as death befalls
the burning Forest.

Pingback: The Firestorm… | Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt
