Fire doesn't end all
This is truth
Black, gray
Feeds the worm
To give to Mother Earth
Ye old mother
To hear her needs
Thou will be blessed
Man, woman and beast
We strain to hear
Awake!
Our bounty is not to spit on
But to reverently hold
In our hands and our heart
For what?
Continuance
Words Count With Mama Zen At Imaginary Garden With Real Toads.
Sixty words exactly from the list Mama Zen provided.
Whew! It was fun.

For what? Continuance. Wow. That sent shivers down my spine. Stunning. Profound. Deep.
i agree with CC profound is the perfect word. good job, great job in fact. you know i love FIRE so the photos grabs me to...
We have to be careful with what we have.. I'm sure it can work... with just a little bit less greed.
Well done . Powerful indeed ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
Goodness that is a wide range of words to put any kind of sense to! Bravo, you did it.
Absolutely!
"To hear her needs
Thou will be blessed" So nice, Gail.
We really do need to listen to the earth. This is a strong write, Gail.
How you tie it all together to be meaningful and deep--that's excellent, Gail.
This is really lovely work, Gail. I love what you did with the words.
this has the feeling of old wisdom - a fine use of the word list ~
What an ending...as strong and sure as the flame it takes to preserve life..
This is a clever piece .. .love the opening lines and what a stopper of a question at the end. Excellent.
Power speak from the woman who knows her "Mama" oh so well. Refresh and renew dear lady.
Indeed. The cycle continues because it is supposed to.
I like the word "continuance" here. That last line really packed a wallop.
