Smoke drains the rainbows

New shine of the aftermath

lights the last path out

Could the same disastrous event that destroys everything we’ve ever know also be the start of a new, better way of life? When the smoke begins to clear in the aftermath of something unexpected, sometimes there’s a moment where possibilities are shown, where rebuilding seems like a bridge to a better future, and a muted ray of hope is shining in a new strange way.
