Remnants & Regrowth

Smoke peels away the patchwork of life.

Every thread, every stitch, burned away like a fuse.

Remnants of history etched within wood,

soon licked away with each passing moment.

When the heat passes, along with the fear,

the once damaged cycle of life returns.

Simple lives once shrouded in shadow turn back to the light.

Living, breathing, creating new stories.

Each step taken etches new lines into the healing branches.

This is destruction.

This is regrowth.

This is life.
