Rising from the Ashes


Ismael K. Isikel Edited 22/9/2017
Rising from the Ashes is viewing the return of Rabaul through the eyes of photographer Esau Meli after the twin volcanic eruptions on 19th September 1994. 




Faith propels
That nature bashed

Seemingly desolate
A booster  of hope

The aftermath
Is beauty
Of the divine brush

Now thrive back
To find your sustenance

The grass shall grow back
The palm standing
Promises that

The mountains
Distant they may
We shall get there

Toiling on the  sea
Shall we sail again.

We are harvesting again


Knowledge we shall find
Through nurturing
The next generation

We  refuse to lie down shaken
Even if the road is rough

We shall get there


However long and winding
We shall get there

Even from humble beginnings
We shall rise from the ashes
