Old Roots, New Growth
The ever-turning cycle.
From old roots, new growth.
Anchored in mother-earth’s soil,
Kept safe and well fed.
~
Now comes the storm clouds.
Pregnant with promise of rain.
Cleansing what’s been hurt.
~
It brings with it wind.
Swells of discarnate power.
Fanning flames of death.
~
Fire tears it all down.
Mourn not. In its wake rises,
Life sinless and new.

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
