MALIBU FIRE, by Deanne Levitt

The stench of smoke is so very strong,
Ashes continue to come raining down.
The winds are howling, they're loud and long,
Streets, stores remain empty all over town.

I worry, it's hard to stay asleep,
People's homes have been lost, there's much despair.
Birds are quiet, we hear not a peep,
The sorrow is palpable, hard to bear.
