After the Floods

After the floods, We were left with nothing, Our homes lay in ruins, All we had gone leaving us torn. It was an unprecedented downpour, Twilight’s gift to us, Spring was in full swing, The water level rose unabatedly. Everything we had worked for all taken by the floods, Everything we had laboured for was damaged by the floods, Our town stood in the shadow, Our homes were a torturing silence. Days after the floods, We strengthened our feeble hands, We invigorated our weary minds, We arose to bring back what had gone to the deep. April 22, 2024.
