Since this is open to writer's as well, I decided to write a minimalist poem.  It takes me back to the Beat Generation of the 50's, the first time I ever wrote poetry.   Thinking of my birthplace in Southern California undergoing changes, and opening up a second chance for some to connect with what is important in life.

**SECOND CHANCE
**

** **

Life is good

          Got it all

                    Racing the wind

Wildfire

          Evacuate

                     Unknown

                              Remains

                                         Ashes

                              Stripped

                     Nothing

Rebirth

          Start over

                    Live simply

                              Minimalism

                    Family

          Love

Fulfillment
