Her Fury

Careless or callous, the catalyst of catastrophe commences
Dull red, to deep orange to dazzling white
The heartbeat of the fire grows unyielding beneath the shrubs
Savage, prancing light effortlessly skips
Casting her wicked allure across the lands
Momentum steadfast towards memory-rich homes
The rich and poor, equal in her furious eyes
Natural justice, pure in her execution
Hand in hand, our courage unwavering
Halting her pursuit temporarily,
She laughs, skips, drifts and sparks
No match for the ashes, delicately stretching in expanse
Setting her sights on sweeping plains.
Smokey, smothering, silent
Heartbeats pound against the silent drum
Cries of despair, disbelief and defeat
“Everything’s gone, everyone’s gone”
Empty shells, surveying the destruction
Family, encompassed in a silver frame smiling
Her fury reminds all, what is important in life.
