Pensacola

Poem: Pensacola
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/2013
I miss
those days
back in
Pensacola -
Haven't gone
back
in a
long, long
while -
I remember
all
the years
going
back
to the
beach house,
and
the fond
memories
that
were
left behind -
Then
all at once,
like
a
Cyclone,
the worst
storm ever
came
roaring in -
People
were ordered
to
evacuate,
and
live's were
displaced
forever -
The
last time
I was
there,
It was
a feeling
of
emptiness,
and
sadness,
The storm
was
a disaster
that
no one
could
conceive -
When I
look back
on
those days
before
the
storm -
I can still
hear
the joy;
laughter,
see the
unbelievable
sunsets,
and
hear the
romantic
sounds
from the
Gulf -
That's what
I'll alway's
remember -
Not
what happened,
But
the beauty
of
Pensacola -
Even though
all that's
left,
is a
concrete
graveyard
with
remnant's
of
house
foundation's
lined along
the
white sand
beach -
Long gone
are the
children voices
echoing
upon
a breeze -
It's heart
wrenching
to think,
that
this was
once
a place
called home -
Don't know
when
I'll
go back
there -
But
the memory's
of
Pensacola,
will
never be
forgotten,
It's in
my heart
forever -
I miss
those days
down on
Pensacola
beach -
