Black Saturday Poem by Jeff Hobbs

Black Saturday



In a gentle moment, time stopped.
The rush of a million events in one day
Stilled and whispered;
Hearts beat to a slower pace
And one hundred and seventy three
Charcoaled souls drifted slowly
From their infernal torment
Leaving blackened, dusty Pompeii-like
Tears.
In one moment we were given rest
- a heavy peace to carry.
