yesterday’s fire

soaring gracefully
young slender aspens stand watch
around charred remains
anonymous yet precious
remnants of yesterday’s fire

Telling the Truth 
Aw.
Always sad when nature dies.

Yes, isn’t it. I hope these adolescent aspens have a good life–unlike the trees and ground cover that burned with the old cottage. I also hope we all get through this next election year without self-destructing. Not on my mind when I wrote the poem, but there it is….
Hugs for you, the trees, and the next generations after us. 🙂

So many parallels of/in nature to us as human-beings. We can learn from observing nature. 🙂
