Unwelcomed Beauty

She moves northward steady and strong. Her winds increase with each passing second. Her devastation amasses above the currents. Yet, she has a name of beauty, Katrina. Her body, though powerful, moves slowly, while her outward punches move increasingly faster. Her arrival is not one that the recipients welcome as they drive off in haste for their escape and safety. But, with sadness, I say that others do remain ready to fight or they have nowhere else to go. It is for them I pray on this day, to the Lord to grant them safe harbor and shelter from the storm.
