Tears of Ashes

I watch in horror on my TV screen
of a force so devastating it seems hard to believe

An orange glaze from the hills to the canyons below
erasing the memory of a life once known

Left are the tears of ashes
the homes now of days passed

An eerie desert where brush once lay
lives left in disarray

But tomorrow will bring new hope at hand
from these flames that have brought their reign to this land

In dedication to those in California that last so much to the wild fires
