As I lie here on my bed tonight,
I thank the lord for his guiding light.
And letting me come home night after night,
When all those fires would go ablaze.
And for all those memories with my dear Kathy,
That I know she will carry for the rest of her days.

R.I.P. Uncle Butchy...

Fortune favors the bold
who climb up the ladder
in a fireman's outfit
to see what's the matter.

To the ones who wear gold
that ride into the night
to face the fiery blaze
and who displace their own fright.

At the drop of a dime
and at the ring of the bell
these heroes we rely on
and who do their job well....

The blackened ground stretches out ahead
The fire has long since passed with dread
There are no bush sounds around
Death and destruction has sown the ground

The firefighters with blackened faces
Return now from hell fire places
Awaiting now a rebirth in rain
Whilst the bush recovers from the summer’s pain.

The darkness in the sky
And the sadness in peoples eyes
The people crying for help
Firefighters saving lives
some not making it
some people losing 
love ones
The rumbling of the 
buildings
The burning smell of the towers
people screaming in fear
Kids scared out of there minds
people not knowing what to do

This is a very sad store of 9/11...

Goosebumps
never fail to visit
whenever Emerald Society drums
call for a slow, steady, cadence
and bagpipers play Amazing Grace
at the funeral of a fallen hero.

Police and Firefighters 
who have offered us
first, their service
and then, their lives.

Honored by those who stood
shoulder to shoulder, loved ones,
and others like me who
get goosebumps....

FIRE BURNING.
NIGHT TIME RAGING
NEIGHBORS CALLING
SIRENS SCREAMING

FIREFIGHTERS STRAINING
FIRE'S GAINING

NIGHT TO DAY 
BURN THEN FADE.
WATER SOAKED
BELONGINGS GONE
TWIST OF FATE.
WINDS OF CHANGE

NEIGHBORS SCARED
ALL LOSS IS FEARED
HOW WILL WE GET BACK
THERE FROM HERE
NEIGHBORS BLARED

LIFE'S NOT FAIR 
LIFE IS FEARED
HOW WILL WE GET BACK
THERE FROM HERE....

I'm in love, and all the disturbed birds
will soar into this pearl sky,
Cannot be silent, and I
feel that I'm part of your thoughts!
I'm in love! From the streets of the city
a thousand times will be reflected, words 
in envious echo will resonate.
That is the superfeeling 
of the superman, it's great!
Call an ambulance, firefighters, police...Do you hear?..
I'm in love!!!

P.S. This is my translation of poem by Vladimir Mayakovsky...

I look up to someone who
Doesn't know the things they do
Keeps me safe from harm each day
Every time they go away
And do a job without regret
It's something I won't forget
In harms path they will stroll down
Fear is something never found
Inside these heroes minds and hearts
I admire them a lot
Firefighters cops and soldiers
A heavy load on their shoulders
Determined they take a stand
Protecting people in this land
Of freedom. I salute you all...

The mayor’s flag is half-staff high;
A fireman has died.
The tears that will be shed today
Won’t be the first ones cried.

Not many people die at work,
But firefighters do.
A job like that is one that just
The bravest would pursue.

Their families are left to claim
The honor they deserve;
And those of us outside their realm
Respectfully observe.

A firefighter’s funeral
Fills everyone with sorrow.
That half-staff flag reminds us
We won’t all be here tomorrow....

Flight songs have forsaken the lark,
where flood and fire forage the dark.
From coast to coast our prayer on wings.
O Lord have mercy the choir sings.

Firefighters on lawn, brave and tired.
Nurses pull long duty, admired.
Neighborhood ash forever stings.
O Lord have mercy the choir sings.

Gift the Golden West deft snowflakes.
Tamp down the spires of flaming snakes.
Extinguish breath the dragon brings.
O Lord have mercy the choir sings.

Geoffrey Keaton, 32, and Andrew O’Dwyer, 36, both died when their fire truck overturned in the NSW fires.

Rest In Peace Australian heroes.

Vale to the Firefighters 

Do you think there is a special place in heaven 
For people who pass as heroes
Their names are written with pride
And should not be forgotten

Let their families find their peace 
Knowing that they will be looked after
From a grateful nation 
Holding them close to their hearts.

Fire

    you rage with anger and vengence 

       taking two of our brave firefighters in Oregon

         risking their own to save all lives

           leaving a trail of tears that could destroy you

              Fire

      ignited from ignorance from a cigarette or pipe

        does not take much to soar higher deadly fire

          the element underestimated by arrogance
         
            awaits the next one blindly casting aside 

              Death...
