Lake House

Complete rapture as hurricane Milton impose upon the the animals while storks fish for dinner florida ducks cling to drift wood as a tiny baby alligators scurries across the waters edge the lake is swollen capturing our home this time we are actually on the lake our neighbors have become first responders why we've survived more hurricanes as I sat writing my poem warmth the promise of hurricane Charlie announced to destroy our home an yet we survived arriving in a new townhome on riverside drive as I hurried to summit my poem listening watching the land cry today we survived Milton and was he bitter angry enraged waters rising above us over twenty feet of rain surge no where to go I watch the birds doing the same thing they did just before the store resilience how they manage feed their young no worries trusting in nature knowing that no matter how dark how much flooding rain lightening we will indeed survive the storm in this house on the lake
