A Gorgeous Paradise: Sad Devastation

A vibrant place in chaos, ruin;
Lahaina gone, a town in ashes;
Lives destroyed, a blessing strewn.
Fighting flames with potent splashes! 

The victims of those raging blazes
Include those angels’ souls in heaven -
The families’ hearts in dismal dazes -
Again rejoin the Highest One…

The people left behind so much.
Fled rushing fires, nick of time;
Tons were lost, sweet pets, a touch
Of prayerful Heaven assists that climb!

Cherished, loved, a place so kind -
Committed surely, endless task -
Trials, decay - please, straits, unwind -
A horror, gloom, in which we bask…

Glowing village, filled with scenes -
People, beaches, foods, and shops;
The aid that this profoundly gleans
Rescues children, moms, and pops…
