I wonder

In the wide fields the flowers grow.

I quickly glance at the gorgeous glow

of the bombs and fire that shine,

in the distance.

My feet are hurting

as I walk the seemingly endless road.

The serene and quiet landscape

remind me of better days.

As the world reverberates,

the earth beneath me trembles.  

My direction takes me towards the glimmering lights

not knowing what I will find.

I see tall buildings in the distance

and fear and uncertainty seem to overpower me

as I move closer to where my loved ones reside.
