Spoken Word: Beautiful Destruction

I wrote this poem July 30, 2020 after being awe inspired by the destruction of the forest in Azusa, Ca. It was such a bittersweet feeling, having left the lake feeling grateful and oblivious to the reality ready to meet me head on. It was even funnier that I knew the forest was on fire because I had smelled it, but my friend told me I was tripping and it was just BBQ pits. Oh, how I wish I’d stop listening to others and stop second guessing my intuition. Lol #azusafire
