We sit in our anxious complacency
So far away yet just a button push from view
Waves move in furious agitation
Stirring the fears as the ants march single file,
Higher ground or crossing the earth piece
Gathering close necessary things
Loves and memories in boxes
Holding hands and keeping calm the babies,
And the sun shines down where I sit
Aimlessly channel surfing for news
Of far off places where faces reside
And I send out prayers for relief, escape from tragedy
And I know the sun will always rise
But wondering what the coming days will bring.
We are always so powerless of the swirl and rise
As man and nature collide
We move as we often do to places higher
In thought and emotion
We wait for the end
The calm to descend
And life to move once again.
Here On the Gulf coast I send prayers out to anyone in the path of the wicked storm, stay safe and dry and blessings for little damage and a return to your normalcy soon. Peace and blessings, Kim
