God of the Storm, Hurricane

In a blink of an eye.
Powerful destroyer force.
You came to clean. 
To take what was yours.

You have a way to 
bring us together again. 
Family, friends and neighbors
worrying for each other.

You teach us about:
Patience, letting go, 
resilience, appreciation… 
Showing us what really matters. 

Simple things that
We take for granted.
Water, food, house,
Electric Power, cell phones…

Doesn’t matter, if you are
rich or poor,
Black or white… 
Only humans help each other.

“God of the Storm”
We still have much to learn.
I know you will come back 
For now, the calm return.
