I love the hope springing out of seemingly hopeless circumstances; nature will survive even if we Earthians do not. Thank you for sharing, Jane. As I have stated in my previous review, you remind me so much of a poem that I wrote on this theme, "Afterburn." I am glad you added this sequel. Love and best wishes to you and to your granddaughter.
We are just learning that fires are an important part of the natural cycle of things. But we do not want to build our edifices of personality in their path. Do we?
Allowed to do her thing, mother nature always comes back better than ever. I enjoyed both poems about this dream, and hope it never comes true. Where's Smokey the Bear when you need him?
Restoring beauty always
