Portrait of Abandoned Landscape

wind blew with the strength like a monster on that night. a creepy sounds ,roar in every corner haunting each ears of those alive. a big blast pushing each shanties that it passed by, wrecked and destroyed. the strongest surge came to orphaned a lot of souls, left thousands breathless cadavers scattered when the sun arose. a trembling sounds of widow cries for the love that's lost. on her arms hold the body of her baby ,died in the flood. an old lady look for a shade to hide, faintedly starving. another man screaming for his family buried in mud. a five-year old girl looks for her siblings,her mom and dad. wounded civilians, dead people and hungry souls, washed away by the most deadliest storm. one beautiful paradise, a haven to everyone with life, has become a wide grave of people sleeping in Sheol. a broad lawn for a broken hearts, wounded souls. the sun shines only to dry the tears from their eyes. and the wind blew consoling a child flying his kite. ** 1st Place Winner in SKAT A.'s Contest : Saddest Landscape **

This epic of destruction is very sobering Aiyah, and the way you close this view of nature, is with a reminder of how youth inspires all in despair. J.A.B.
