Dormant Volcano
By Derek Wings
An island of ash
signs of a past life
Melted black rock
Scars of the last breath
When this land gave it’s all
Red hot passion spewed from its lips
And swept over everything that made this land
A volcano thought dormant
Tried to love again
Poured it’s hearts out
Even as the magma scorched all the good
That once called this land home
now marks this dead earth
With this one last eruption
One last confession
This volcano died
And took everything with it
forever in torment
This volcano is now forever dormant
