Amazing

Bursts of orange laughter, a choir of giggling angels sparking,
Joy and beauty, in the island afternoon,
Volcanic rain, a world insane, dreams descending into nightmares,
Yet their spirits travel with the sun and moon;
Their palace falls to molten rock, collapse and craters threaten,
Evacuation time, as boulders fly,
Take what you can, forget the rest, use your mask, keep moving forward,
And yet their hearts are helping others say goodbye;
They find a roof to share with rats, sleep talking paranoia,
Holding on to love, and their loyalty through time,
Under the gun, the midday sun, the poison gas, the ashes falling,
They rise above it, making even shadows rhyme;
And then a tent becomes their home, as the rocks and fissures rumble,
All around them, while their courage presses on,
Kicking ass, with goddess class, Standing strong, amazing women,
They’re giving more, even when their everything is gone;
They’re giving more, even when their everything is gone.
