she cannot be contained
destruction her desire
she rages
she runs her path
unfettered and leaping
death dancing
her name is spoken
by broken hearts
in ashes
she touches us all
there or here
with fear
for we are fools
who forgot her
dark lessons
now she runs amok
incandescant with power
burning all
bushfire

May the Universe give blessings to all those impacted by the bushfires, and protect those who face her ravenous appetite directly, day after day, whilst saving lives and homes.
Wonderfully descriptive words.

Describes the feeling perfectly. She is ravenous and fearfull…if all our tears could fall on her perhaps she would be calmed.

That was powerful and just a little bit frightening in it’s description. Wonderfully written Claudette.
