Perpetual Peace
by Ela Lourenco

Dusk is settling

Casting her glow across

The quiet forest.

Flashes of bronze and gold

Reflected in the now still leaves

For a single moment the world is awash

With colour, with life

Until the darkness falls once more

Devouring everything in its giant shadow

Nothing stirs

There is no air

No bird song

All that once was is now buried

Under the dry earth
