Today, We Weep

Right now, we weep.

Ferocious flames,

tossed about by unrelenting winds,

devouring all in their path—

where dreams were built,

where memories once lingered.

The ever-present, breath-taking beauty

heaped into piles of ash.

The haze of smoke—

it haunts

it hovers,

a ghost bearing burdens too heavy to name.

No water.

No power to shine the lights.

Only the symphony of:

roaring fires,

ringing car alarms,

animals fleeing with wild eyes—

people not able to collect and carry,

their treasures left to burn.

Today, we weep.

We mourn.

And yet, amidst the ash and haze,

we sound our voices in tribute—

to First Responders who race toward these infernos,

risking all for what matters most.

Life!
