Explosion

by
Laura Mercurio Ebohon

It was a crash




sudden



unexpected collision



It sounded like thunder



it smelled like storm



it played like strong beats



It looked like shreds of flesh



drops of blood



floating rags



in the wind of unknown lands



blowing against far away skies



My earthly refuge was invaded



my heavenly home was attacked



my path was crossed



Then the explosion...



Red flames and yellow screams



grey clouds black smoke



Roads and buildings became dust



Like sand of deserts



running through my hands



Silence took over



Quiet like hope



Still like patience



white mantle



of the inevitable sound of never...
