Hurricane
A hurricane is in the news,
A Category 5,
With winds that challenge trees and homes
To manage to survive.
Yet where I am, the sky is blue
And there’s a gentle breeze,
Enough to knock the leaves down,
But not causing much unease.
Jamaicans had some warning
And, though many have prepared,
I am sure that people living there,
Or visiting, are scared.
It’s hard to wrap your mind around
Disasters far away,
Yet most of us will face our own
Adversity one day.
