Picture in Richfield Reaper
I am moved by
this red ball sun
glowing through smoke
billowing up from
burning forests
Red glow above
crackling flame
and blackened trees
bend into dead
shapes.
Fear catches
as fire leaps,
surrounding
life and swallowing
breath..
Mystery glows.
We discover
the power,
the danger,
and beauty of
Mother Earth.
Oh, lost treasures!

I didn't know there was a forest fire out there where the Richfield Reaper reports. Family website is busy this morning. Good entry. I like to get my news in poetry form!
ReplyDeleteDixie said Danny's garage and some outbuilding were destroyed. Three houses total loss. this was a controled burn in Cedar canyon. Doesn't sound very controlled. Danyy said the worst for him was that he and vicky liked to ssit out on their deck and admire the view. Now their view is just black. It will soon recover though if the rain falls and the snow covers the mountain.
