The last leaf falls from the branch







The smell of winter is in the air
The ground looks like a desert,
Barren and stripped of all its grass
A once glorious city now stripped of its inhabitants
A city with structures that reached mountains peaks
Now lay like a barren waste land
Left to ashes
Nothing but a distant memory,
That would soon fade with time
Smoke wafts through the air choking all life forms
Shrivelling them like bones rotting
Wasting away on an empty battlefield
The monster had come so quickly
Destroying everything in its path
Fiery tongues licking up everything that got in it’s way
Sparing no one
Its flaming arms reaching out and seizing anything that tried to defy it
Ashes blew in the slight breeze like wayward snow flakes
The building were left to mere skeletons of their former great and magnificent beauty
The strong wind picked up
Throwing debris, rubble, and ashes into pure havoc
Nothing was left
The unmerciful blaze with heat so intense
Like anger striking in full force
A fiery furnace burning in rage
A red hot poker stabbing blindly
Penetrating the unknown
Sweeping across the city as silent as a thief in the night
It had disappeared just as quickly as it had come
It meant death, destruction
The world as we knew is no more
Nothing but a distant memory
