After the Silence

In a flash, the sky did roar,

Light unbound, forevermore,

Earth convulsed in fiery breath,

Dancing close to sudden death.

Cities crumble, shadows fall,

Silent cries that no one calls,

Ashes float on wind’s cold sigh,

Underneath a smoky sky.

Yet from dust, new roots will creep,

Life that wakes from darkest sleep,

Fragile shoots through cracked remains,

Hope reborn from deepest pains.

Wounds of earth begin to heal,

Green returns where death did kneel,

Though scars are etched in time and space,

Life persists, with gentle grace.

So in ruins, softly see,

Strength in quiet tenacity,

Even after fire’s cruel breath,

Whispers bloom—the song of death...

And life.
