As a forest Taken down with the firestarters hate All living things perish or take For a safer ground All that is left Is scorched and marred In blackness Charcoaled in loneliness Stark in offering Of any sign of life Even the sunshine seems To have abandoned the sight Of the blackened ground The temples of ebony Leafless trees Not one hint of green Until one day A passerby Traipsing paths once lush Happens to notice Sprouting up from Coal like remains Bright Green shoots of grass Alas! The Healing has begun As the birds of hope Watch and wait And sing life upwards Once again. |

I am reminded here of the renewal of life after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens---It took awhile...but hope did indeed spring, and even more hopefully? eternal. Applause here, Regina.  |

This was fantastic writing as usual. To tell Serenity I saw the eruption of Mt. St. Helen's and all the lush green is back, and the land is renewed almost now, so there is hope of renewal always. I love your writing style. ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ |

From what I've read, this magnificent earth comes back from a fire even more luscious than before. Thanks for the hopeful pen. |

Serenity: It's amazing what we've been through in this world already. We just keep shooting upwards. I hope always. Thanks for reading. God Bless. Marge: It's on the horizon dear Lady. Some of us are trees rooted very deep. I think you are one. Love and Peace! Mysteria: Thank you! As even Mother Nature has shown you rebirth. We must follow the natural order. Hugs to you and yours. Richard: Yes, that is how it happens. Amazingly! Thank you for reading. Hope to all. Thanks for being here. Everyone! Peace and Love. Sincerely, Regina |
