Hurricane Love


Moving so swiftly to hatred's shore,

Trees of prejudice uprooted,

By winds of kindness from above,

Cruel structures of bigotry,

Leveled to their floors,

Evil swept away,

By pure waves of goodness,

Aggression disappears,

In this storm's peaceful eye,

Driving out forever,

Depression's clouds of darkness,

Sadness blown from its moorings,

Never again to make one cry,

Tyranny loses its hold,

From one powerful gust,

Humankind's greed washed out to sea,

By the tides known as sharing,

Finally,

As she passes through,

Love replaces fear with breezes of trust,

Leaving gently in her wake,

A land of true compassion and caring.
