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

once i was a prisoner of self degradation
at one time i was in denial of my own poisonous self
it took you and a hammer to the head from God to bring me back to my senses
now i am so centered i can even see sideways without becoming dizzy
i am healthier in mind, body, and spirit
i can actually admire the beauty of the light of day without heavily squinting
despite my actually having some sense now, you still hit me in the head with God's hammer occasionally
you claim God gave it to you Himself in secret "just in case"
i think you yourself bought it on the sneak tip on sale at the home depot near our townhome and "christened" it "God's Hammer" because i am....A GUY....
no matter the whatevers, i love you all the same
i may suck up some lumps along the way, but your affectionate smile and loving heart is worth all the inflicted pain and then some....
