From the ashes
By CatnipGirlOnFire
Destruction surrounded her,
Her hometown; her people
Everything she had ever known-
Gone.
Just like that.
She knew she had brought it upon them,
She may as well have shot each and every one of them herself.
Every Infant
Child
Teenager
Adult
Old man and woman
Gone.
Just like that.
But up from the ashes grew a spark
Of hope
Of faith
Of love
Appeared.
Just like that.
Her destructive flame put out
Calmed into a flickering candle
Of opportunity
Of desire
Of happiness.
And so up from the ashes grew the light
The everlasting light.
But still she could not forget when destruction had ruled.
When her friends
Family
Neighbours
Had all gone.
Just like that.
Hope you like it!
