Aftermath

Storm Front

"Thunderstorms, Floods and Water fury"

The sky is gray
The leaves are blowing
The flower lies wilted on the ground

The birds are gone
Theirs no more singing
Till the floods have gone
And the storm withdrawn

The trail is lined with weeping willows
That whisper fury that has just passed by
Days are numbered with a great supply
Of rising waters that billow high

And the word moves on
And the nights grow cold
And winds blow strong
Against my soul
Take my hand and lead me on
As the thunderous storms prolong

Raging sky continues to perform
And the fury waters have found their home
I’ve become informed
By Mother Nature
To settle through as I transform

The lightning now faded
The prolonged thunderstorm paraded
I was left a bit jaded
As memories cascade upon debris
The fear has risen
Yet the healing is envisioned

The soil mourns
The hurt unfolds
The storm adorns
The aftermath and it’s long parole

Am I stuck here in these waters
Must I face it all alone
As the world moves on with their daughters
I tread these floods orphaned and disowned

The the world moves on
And the nights grow cold
And winds blow strong
Against my soul
Take my hand and lead me on
The wreckage of an aftermath

Katrina Damage 1

The aftermath brings the shock and the hard work to rebuild... the fatige has set in from weathering the storm... it's going to be a long recovery... but possible with love and strength. To rebuild alone... with years of damage is far to devastating. The unity of love must come...wont you come... IN THE AFTERMATH

Hide and Seek

The giggles of small children counting.
The temptation to sneak a quick look through their small fingers.
The excitement that rushes through them to hurry to find the ones hiding
And the burst of energy once they finally get to a hundred and shout…
“Ready or not here I come”

The stored energy of the ones in hiding ready to burst at the seams…
Their breathing heavy from the pressure to find the “perfect spot”
The anticipation of the game…
And patience to remain still enough and not laugh
Being that quiet for that long is a hard job for an excited child :)

silenced screams

I want to scream aloud
all the pain that lies within
dig at my rejecting flesh
I can no longer stand to be with in!

I am screaming inside
at this darkness
for it to leave
pleading for it to flee!
be gone
go away
I want ‘me’ back
PLEASE!!!!

Not in the mood to talk…

Hands

when the music fades

He didn't like it when I played... my daddy did but he was never home... I did it in the secret anyway...

Child With Prayer Hands Together

Oh, God please hear me this night....

....must be a pill for that

a picture may be worth a thousand words but in this case it's a thousand mysteries... don't try and understand ... it just won't happen.

It was never yours to take!
