Driving through the beautiful Adelaide hills
Cruising along the busy freeway
I look at all the vegetation
I recognize the signs of destruction
I see the skeletons of trees
Burned; brought to their knees
Yet still they show their strength
Their God-given resilience
New green leaves adorn their boughs
Strength and life are there again
Only underneath the leafy splendour
Can be seen the signs of terror
The shadows draw the eye
To darkened, black-burnt bark
Still showing the pain, so cold and stark.
