This reminds me of the Dylan Thomas poem "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower." Even just the title of his poem is so evocative of the continuity and life force you describe. Beautifully done.

“The force that through the green fuse drives the flower

Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees

Is my destroyer.”

I’m always amazed by your spot-on recommendations, Isabel. It truly warms my heart to know that my writing reminds you of them. ❤️‍🔥
