Melted life under the hot lava, left by the explosive volcano. Awaken Christmas night under the sparks ashes crossing the sky to our mind. We had the lights flashing with no celebration. Our little island was smaller but bigger at the same time. Many left, but the most embraced destiny. Banana trees are spreading the green colour over the grey. La palma, as the phoenix, is a newborn wish come true. new baby was born on the feet of a new hill ~tomorrow's hero
