Unbroken Resolve

Monster clouds roam with fiery open jaws
Memories of past freeze momentary pause
Storming tides advance with fiery rainfall
Followed by sounds of a shattering landfall.

Spirits resolve as gusty winds blow roof top
Families will soon rise to clean up and mop
Determined as ever to mobilize and survive
Hoping to keep remnants of memories alive.

Leaving behind the dread of storm unbidden
Lifting up each time such grief has stricken 
Moving swiftly hoping for a construction loan
Dredging through an atrocious disaster zone.

Such repetitious blows becoming annual thing
Calling for prayers, God's heavenly blessing
Flying high with spirits on the Angel's wings
For the love and hope they continually bring.

Having heard cries of compassionate calls
Resounding like the magnificent Angel Falls
With unbroken resolve our nation stands tall
Shattered lives rebuild hearing the protocol.

vijay, hurrah. i found an oldie of yours I have not yet seen before. took me eight clicks to find it and it was well worth it. I have a friend from the Philippines and she says they have yearly storms that are so bad. Where are you? America is getting them a lot now too along the coast and Gulf. This is a great tribute to all the souls who face these storms so bravely.
