Silence engulfs the smoke once here
Blank is the sole view from here
Smothering noises are gone now
All life has left the land somehow
No longer blowing in the wind ashes fall
Rationale is no longer needed at all
Contrary to what I feared
Sentiment has since disappeared
Void fills the vacancy
Leaving only serenity

I like the way this poem conveys images of devastation by describing the aftermath, it does it very well. The emotion it conveys for me is the peace you find after a difficult mental struggle, and a relief that it's all over. very good
