Drought

The trees dance in the wind.
The sun gives a final smile before sleeping.
The moon shines.
The moon, and the tides, they laugh together.
Flowers open their doors to bees.
The trees relish their new dreams
It’s a wonderful world.

Suddenly a cry.
A life lost.
A life of care and wonder.
It attacks. The drought has arrived
Everything dwindles into dark ashes.
