Santa Ana Reclaimed

Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame. Black-scape throughout, life’s survival or death? Spring blooms of dogwood. Renewal sustained. Santana stampedes, she’s wicked, untamed, through canyons of ages. We hold our breath. Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame. Now Dante’s hellhound of Hades renamed! Desiccation abounds where there were fresh spring blooms of dogwood. Renewal sustained. What brought this on us, is someone to blame? Nature or mishap? A crazed soul's arrest? Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame. Now charred, disfigured but memory maintains the clear hills of May, June sparrows, content. Spring blooms of dogwood, renewal sustained. Flora in peril, all creatures the same! Twixt ashes or mudslides? These losses attest! Wildfires of fall bring us whirlwinds of flame. Spring blooms of dogwood, renewal sustained.
