Cracks In the Facade

In hardened bricks, their wall of denial, lie the cracks in the façade The water of truth drips Leaking slowly for everyone to see, Initiating anger Thunderous clouds, with booms Then from the black sky, falls the cleansing rain Rivers of tears in valleys Rainbows of forgiveness Heidi Sands 11/23/19 Placed 1st in the Pick a Title Vol. 11, Kimo Poetry Contest. Title picked: Cracks in the facade

I was liking the power of the storm. I guess not in the forgiveness mode. A lovely write. You always pen excellent things... Ann
