Seen From Heaven – A Tear Fell
Inaudibly the brown, white and playful striped Tapir now gathered his small herd into a warming pond. Examining the smoke as it was nudging quicker, in the ever toxic air which was visible with the dawn. Lush no more it's trees or meadows in the low land, Our Father now saw the inferno growing swiftly … Continue reading Seen From Heaven – A Tear Fell
