FIRE and WATER

*****

Fire followed by rain.

Homes saved from hungry fire -

Lost in raging water.

*****

Homes that survived The Thomas Fire, now lost to the floods as water inundates the land that no longer has trees and brush to hold the land ...and so the water sweeps away structures and vehicles that stand in the water’s path..

WAITING

Hands are turned up,

Feeling the change in the air.

Waiting for the rain.

Needed Rain

Thoughtful and quiet,

The expectant land does wait.

Then – joyful tears - rain !




***
We have been blessed with a few sprinkles of much needed rain - for which we are grateful
and rain beyond mere sprinkles expected tomorrow ! ! !
