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
Thank you!
Most welcome
Tbis could be about transformation in the natural world. From wood to a human being. Everything changes with time into something else. Hopefully for the better. Nicely written.
Thanks!!
