Firestorm

Embers of fire

Destroy their path

But carry

shattered vessels of holiness

Searching,

always,

for reunion.

Yet

fire can be frozen

Wind, stilled

by paint and pen

clay, thread,

letter and lens.

The art maker

can capture

a storm

sealing the fire

in ice

making a prayer of repair

Tikkun olam

What’s broken

Can be reconfigured,

and repurposed.

Transforming into sparks of hope.
