Ashes

Ashes, borne by the wind
with embers ablaze,
falling to grasses,
within the heavy haze.

A small puff of smoke,
like ink to a page,
thus, became another
California fire outrage.

So many lives ruined,
property loss, dismay,
cannot it be fixed
and be put away?

Is the vast loss of property,
more important than loss of life?
So much loss and suffering,
with unneeded strife.

The days of yore,
have passed us by,
as youthful love
has become a why.

Why did we waste,
those youthful days,
full of love,
ripe with praise.

Do you recall,
your happiest time,
when love was free,
when you were mine?

I long for all,
the youthful bliss,
when love was more,
than a simple kiss.

I'll be here,
for you my sweet,
as only you,
make my life complete.
