Personal Paroxysm

Serenity

A blue, cloudless sky

Covers the serene landscape.

There is a Spring breeze.

Disturbance

The ground shakes beneath;

Rocks rumble and the earth quakes—

Birds flock and take flight.

Paroxysm

Molten lava flows

Following an eruption.

Life encased in ash.

Primary Succession

Time passes like clouds.

Green shoots arise from hard ash.

From death comes new life.
