Stages
A series of haiku
Ignition. Hellfire.
The blinding blaze burns your eyes.
Your heart. Everything.
-----------------------------------------
Don't choke. Careful breaths.
Panic strikes, stings, steals your air.
Find the strength to breathe.
----------------------------------------
A hurricane pours.
From your eyes floodwaters fall
washing away hope.
----------------------------------------
The ground stops shaking.
Your roots anchor to the Earth.
Growth has been painful.
