Fire is a tyrant
Fury – replacing peace
Hopelessness – its wake.
*****************
Reminder to pray for the people and lands being affected by the uncontrolled fires in Colorado – and elsewhere.

About oneta hayes
ABOUT ME
Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...
Sweet aroma 
yes! Thank you for this reminder. Winter here but are hearts acknowledge with sorrow the ravages of Summer fires. Blessings to you.
My Colorado relatives came by today. So that concern was newly sparked by talking with them. Thanks, Faye.
Oneta that poem speaks about so much more than the fires in Colorado! What a wonderful reminder to not only pray for those in Colorado but for those affected by the “fires” in their lives.
You are right. So many addictions are raging fires consuming peace and leaving hopelessness. Thanks for the broader view.
nice haiku Oneta … yes they need our prayers as they rebuild. That was shocking.
Thank you. I am amazed at the resilience of many people who are victimized by these kinds of disasters.
yes not sure how I would cope at all .. to lose everything would be very traumatic 😦
Indeed.
I spent some time recently in the Texas hill country, where drought continues to increase in severity. We’re all looking at the rains building in the Gulf — not with fear this time, but with gratitude for the help it can bring.
I guess it balances out of a space of years, but it can be rough for a season. Good to see you, Linda. You been traveling? 😀
I went to Kansas City over Memorial Day to visit my aunt, whose 93rd b’day is coming up. We had a family barbeque on Memorial Day itself, and then my only girl-cousin and I drove back to Texas, and she spent some time here. She flew back home yesterday, and I’m delighted to be able to get back into my routine, despite the good time we had.
Does sound delightful. Family fun is hard to beat. 😀
Nice Haiku. Prayers for the affected ones.
Thanks.
As beautiful as it can be, fire is indeed much more destructive. Great post, and prayers for Colorado!
