Autumn Crocus

Even in the grey and rainy gloom of the last day of November, some plants still find their way out of the cold, wet ground and push themselves up in a cheerful, devil-may-care burst of brightness.

These are nasty times, but down in depths, right at the bottom, the only thing left in the broken box is hope. A glimmer can become a spark; that spark could become a glow and even a flame. In the right set of circumstances, all sorts of things are possible. Maybe those black broken branches and dark drifts of leaves are a bonfire waiting only to be lit.
