As fire consumes wood,
changing it irrevocably
from a familiar form to something new
adversity changes us, transforms us;
sometimes into warming coals
that draws people near,
sometimes into pale gray ash
to be carried away by those familiar winds
leaving us adrift
buffeted by the storms of life.

A great metaphor that takes us to two extremes of life. Nicely written
