Analysis of Annual Vesuvius



Quietly creating and hurtling towards the sun
The new are meandering through the perennial
The ground buzzing and toiling, the trees bursting at the seems
Another spring eruption brings the winter to its knees

Reaching up towards the golden glow natures faces blossom
Each as equal and beautiful and wonderful as the next
Exploding colours, perfect new petals, branches lined with leaves
A fresh start for everything, even the old begin to breath

As life’s lungs fill and purify I find myself content
This world that grows around me has to been seen to be believed...
