From The Ashes We Watch Beauty Rise

FromTheAshes

Morning run through the burn behind the house. Reminded me of a For The Sender song sung by Sara Watkins called ‘From The Ashes’ about beauty rising from the wreckage:

i watched the pile burn
smoke across my sky
there are lessons to learn
in goodbye

i turned down this road
stripped of my disguise

as a new moon strode
across my eyes
from the ashes i watched
beauty rise

smoke faded away
and i began to hope
through this blanket of gray
green would grow

in time i found a friend
and to my surprise
the burn began to mend
before our eyes

from the ashes we watched
beauty rise

i watched the pile burn
smoke across my sky
there are lessons to learn
in goodbye

in the wreckage truth still lies
through the remnants of our lives
from the ashes we watch
beauty rise
