Bushfire regrowth

Bang goes the gum tree.
Fresh flowers, sweet silence.
Tiny green shoots as small as a bean.
Regrowth of the new growth,
The new growth growing, growing, higher higher
Tiny flowers, reaching for the sky
New growth climbing up the trees like a koala.
Blue skies are sapphires.
The bush has regenerated.
