After the Storm
Mother nature appears and disappears as she desires, just sheer reminders of her omnipotent power
A distant rumble high in the sky, We know she's coming but we know not the hour
Securing all windows and locking all doors, or did we forget?
Her formidable presence is not to be questioned yet the hour is no time to fret
You see, precautions and faith must abide fervently in the mind and heart
Each must do his or her part to ensure a secure start
Ominous clouds, thunder, rain, and window-shattering winds
At the moment, mind, body, and spirit are all in disarray, not knowing when the madness will end
Shhhhhhh!!!! Now peace! Yes, sweet peace and calm all abound
Remnants of what used to be liberally laying around
A suspended moment in time as we stand, look and reflect on this catastrophic state
Trying to pick up the pieces but as we look around, we see that the damage is far too great
A glimpse of the sun coyly peeks out from the clouds, sending another ray of hope
Healing and learning after the storm, just praying and hoping for a brighter scope
