RESPECTFUL CONTEMPLATION
The metamorphosis of gentle breezes into hurricane winds.
The transformation of a tiny spark into a fiery, destructive blaze.
The simple alteration of a leaf from green to gold to brown.
I am struck by the steadfastness of change
and contemplate, with renewed respect,
the power controlling our destiny.

BEYOND THE SENSES
Should my senses ever fail me,
with my shell devoid of sight or sound,
your presence will always infuse my spirit
as you breathe life into my soul
and diminish my loss by the serenity of your love.
A LESSON
Only smoldering embers remained.
Those things I thought I treasured
more than life itself were gone.
Clothing, books, and soulless possessions
disappeared in a sweltering blaze.
A hard lesson learned, but learned it was.
My family and my life, my most cherished gifts,
endured the flames and smoke.
A higher being renewed my understanding
of what home really means.
