Inferno Poem by Gabriella Voges

Burning, the trees all around me
The place I once called my home
Engulfed in flames
No longer my own

The sky above is orange ablaze
I'm surrounded by walls of flames
There's no escape
I look around for help
I can't see anything, no way out

Trying to find my mother
She hasn't come for me yet
Did she leave without me?

I'm stumbling around
I find my mother, her lungs inflamed
I breathe in my last breath of toxic smoke
And fall upon the fallen Oak

I'm with my mother now
We've escaped
I lay with her
In our final resting place.
