just feel blind

disconnected from your senses

there is ash everywhere you look

destroyed buildings and stone rubble

a sad place with no life and no joy

grey landscape - the end of the world

where sun's rays don't reach

deadly silence penetrated

by memories long-forgotten

left buried where you stand

a final resting place

to those brave enough

yet not strong enough

it has claimed many over the years

living on in minds

unrecognised and alien

waiting to be found

and so there it resides

a little girl's nightmare

made of bones

now come to life

larger than fear

death itself personified

with a fire lit deep in its eyes

the only sign of life

in this dead cold place

it burns everything around

and scorches even the unscorchable

and in its gaze you see yourself

just a small boy

who had his whole life

ripped away from him

everything he knew burnt to ash

only sheep and their wool remained

and that little girl

she is braver than anyone you know

and she chose you to be her hero

so you stare down the monster

life balancing on the edge of a cliff

like a needle ready to drop

as if struck by lightning

a vacuum-consuming space

it ate away at it

destroying its own self from the inside

time to return all of what it has taken

with that it disappeared in a flash

as if part of the universe imploded

the image forever burnt into your mind

with baited breath and ears still ringing

you watch the world come back

time relapses and flows forever-changed

numerous collapsed structures and pieces

no longer litter the air

instead white bunnies fly around

there are floating spheres full of nature

green flowery fields stretch

even beyond where eyes can see

sheep feast on the fresh grass

and the sky is blue
