She Inferno

Passion ignited on a strike She lights the dark night sky trailing a glowing inferno scattering embers near and low, soo far and ever so high, crawling across the hills ever searching for a manner to quench her thirst her sweltering footprints branding her way her unplanned escape a devastating curse flaring vivid hues of freedom she crowns trees and takes flight her hot breath all consuming only ashy detritus blankets this land, struck by this blight courageous knights rush in on motorized wings bravely jump from great heights to scorched earth below lionhearted warriors joust on ground metal horses rally above still she glides ever faster down treacherous slopes gusting wind at her back eyes on what gives her hope a ravine down below in the heart of the valley so narrow its girth that its depths are unknown it calls her nearer whispered promises quenching her sitient soul a whisper of freedom from ensuing foes an end to all her troubles and woes she dives down the cracked mouth of the abyss and drinks her fill of its watery deaths kiss smoky sunrise lights vistas inky colour of mourning small embers of freedom hissing at droplets of rain all that’s left of her drowned in the deep water gulley and her feathers of freedom, now ashy snow All seems dark, land lost to her terrible plight return a while later and see what has birthed shoots sprouting green through blackened charred earth through culling wings of fire the red angel of death set off to be free now in her wake grows new life starting to thrive if not for her affrighted quest for freedom would this flourishing life even have survived 06.09.2021 - 08.03.2022
