well i am re-posting this i wrote it while the bush fires were burning in my country.....


The Last Ember


why where you used to run and laugh
cant i hear you anymore?

they tell me one does not feel the burning alive
its because the brain gives mercy to the body

i feel the peeling of your skin
its my reality everyday

should i look for you too? and join them
but i know you will never be found

cremated againest your will
your dust brings no peace for the living

was i spared the stench of burning finger nails
to live with my ghost called regret?

should the ground bring forth green again and kookaburras laugh where they perished?
in your rightfull place, why were we robbed by calamity?

i will wander for a time and then settle only to wander again
but the circles i walk are not on a path upward

can our home really be nothing?
my throat cracks on the inside of me
i am torn to the core
i am an open wound

a thin veil of soot forever blinding could this really be all that remains?
if i lay down here too can the earth take me back?

would it be so cruel to spit me out ?
yes
i must gnash teeth untill i find courage that never comes

alluding me as i search through pain for exsistence
someone touches my arm and i turn

it is slow but i see a twinkle in their eye it comes from the corner
was that real or imagined? i search again eyes widened darting

i see the twinkle and its shining at me
was it God? was God talking to me?

this person this stranger that longs to comfort me
is like a mirror

i can receive their love but am void of any returning
falling into their shoulder this stranger lets me cry

tears are long ago dried up but i cry silently for a long time
no words are spoken or story shared

the stranger receives my greif and returns only love
their silence my permission allowing for the exchange

the trading of sorrows and the return of love.
my yoke is lightened
my greif is shared and this stranger remains knowingly
they too know loss and they too know pain

this is all that i know of the stranger
this and the twinkling of an eye.
