Premium Member The Storm Water Pipe
The storm water pipe gaped into open air from an embankment where it surfaced from underground. The opening was a little smaller than my childhood height and they said it stretched a mile or more but nobody knew for sure. A danger sign warned against entry saying the pipe was subject to sudden flooding - a protective grate had a hole big enough to crawl through. I would...

The sound of breaking
The sound of breaking is late. Thunder shatters gray clouds after lightning strikes the damp soil. When pieces of sky pierce flesh, the scream is slow to rise— The sound of breaking follows pain’s echo. The sound of breaking is gentle. Raindrops tiptoe on my eyelids— each sting a secret pressed down. Earth's unbridled tears fall for my...

Not Her Fault
"It was your dress," they replied Was it? The ripped fabric cried The 5-year-old's laughter silenced that day Couldn't even scream, "I'm just a child," and ran away "It was your shorts," they claimed Was it? The torn seams proclaimed The 10-year-old's dreams shattered, flamed Couldn't even cry, "I'm just a girl," with shame "It was your clothes," they blamed Was it? The cloth...

Why The Grey Sky Grew
Why the grey sky grew Could it be because of you? Or because my heart's feeling blue The sun only shines when I'm with you When we're far apart The world grows dark It thunders and rains Blowing wind that chills my veins Occasionally striking the garden we grew A garden of love built by me and you The anger of fire will destroy the...

Premium Member Lacking an Anchor
A drift in a sea of longing, rudderless and without direction. Trying to stay afloat amidst the relentless winds and currents whipping the crests into a frenzy. At the mercy of the nautical tempest, in a fruitless battle to maintain control, I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor that was my refuge from this upheaval brought on by the forced solitude when you left...

The Silent Storm
A silent storm is brewing within my chest A benumbing chill sets my soul aflame A warm welcome sets alarm bell ringing, In the realm of hush at the dawn of dusk do you hear the swooshing of the waves on the sandy shore? Do you hear the shush...

Premium Member The World is Bleeding
The world is bleeding, from the inside out, with a punctured heart ready to burst. Call Universal O- blood donors. They may be able to save the most first. A rain of tears cleanses streets from the red- stained, dripping sheet-shrouds oozing children's blood. While flesh is shredded from human bone by- natural forces of wind, earth, and flood. The world lies,...

Premium Member Woebegone!
When the darkness colors the midnight skies And all your blessings seem in the past, you surmise The ache of heart who knows nothing but lies Listen to the story of His glory – He never dies When the worries grow harder and you feel defeated And all your heartfelt yearnings are uncompleted The heavy hand of doubt causes you to...

a tiny drizzle or an avalanche of water cascading like Niagara Falls? April is giving us a joyful nod, emptying her clouds one at a time Clothes on the line went from being sprinkled to saturated robins had been hopping happily; now they are in hiding I was dancing with joy for the garden and I needed rain But this...

Posaidon's Surfboard
Upon the waves where the wild winds sing, A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing; Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free, Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see. With cargo holds filled, treasures abound, From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound. A bill...
