Abstract: Volcanic Eruption

Abstract:  Volcanic Eruption
Note: Created from graffiti photographed in Los Angeles, CA

Amidst clouds of smoke
And pyroclastic rivers
A new day awakes.

Like the morning dawn
The sky shimmers and glows with
Red luminescence.

Ash coats and lava
From volcanic eruptions
Renew the Earth’s face.

Fuji's sacred fires
That both destroy and create
Sustain life's cycle.


©2024 – William Sutherland

Taking great inspiration from a detail in the graffiti you conjure Fuji so well, and the haiku enhance the image beautifully.

Unfortunately in our present reality and how the laws of physics work, there can be figuratively put -- no gain without pain. In this case no creative works without corresponding destructive works. :( But in the end, the sun rises, a new day dawns, and Fuji renews and sustains the cycle of life per Japanese tradition.

I think Psalm 104:29-30 is most appropriate and analogous to Fuji's sacred work: [W]hen you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.

Stanzas worthy of haikus, as I read Don pointed out, illuminating a minimalism as striking as it is eloquent... A great impression indeed, William.

Amazing abstraction!
And the poem - for me a sign of hope and deep trust in the forces of nature
that create new life again and again.
Simply magnificent, William.

Bei dem Aufstieg zum Vesuv erzählte ein uns begleitender Geologe, daß die Menschen mit Wohnung am Fuße des Vulkans Angst vor einem Ausbruch haben.
Eine ausgezeichnete künstlerische Arbeit mit entsprechenden Versen, William.
