Land and Sky

Savannah burnt –
Stalks crumble in the dry wind
She looks down – walks gently – crunching- dry, broken - ashen things
Looking for the sign of life anew
In black ash - red and brown soil –
A land intermeshed with history, hearts and souls
A land of rebels and dreamers-
A land burnt – razed – ashen

Darkness in the sky –
An Angry, vengeful howl
She looks up – a sign – a promise – she prays
Hangs low on the high and ancient earth
Darkness will meet darkness
Creating light – vivid – dangerous –
A sky of seasons changing, swirling and bringing
A sky of hopes and visions
A sky lit – bright – dotted dreams

Land meets Sky –
Frightening, stirring and electrifying
She looks on – stunned – mesmerized – lost
Encompassing intensity
A heaviness and lightness surrounds the earth
Battle sounds – loud – painful – liberating
An earth for the future
An earth of wet green and dampened ashes

An earth free – whole – balanced
