In the midst of controversy

the lava flows

terrible emotions

as the fire glows

Pragmatic solutions

permeate the day

fear and sadness

as humans runaway

Is there hope

where is the light

darkness envelops the soul

being smite

Down the path

cleansing of the soul

fire meets the water

a story of old

Clouds and smoke lift

the sun shines bright

hope and renewal

the soul returns to the light
