force of nature
fear of the unknown
grim predictions
powerful elements
falling rain
steady moving low
tucked away
under soft sheets
turning and tossing
constant
barrage of
questions
future options
going through
alert mind
jumping to
conclusions
sleepless night
low lying house
past floods
uncertainty
eyes wide open
looming over us
Alfred cyclone grand
under the skin
and over our land
wild and untamed
expecting heavy gale
through our towns
unseen on such a scale
forecasted to hit tonight
with a heavy heart
everyone’s initiative
plays a major part
watching its track map
by a quick glance
an escape from its claws
leaves a little chance
some say it is man made
others blame it on God
who can see through the fog
it is sure a tad odd
eerie feeling on the streets
no birds or noise of traffic
life has slowed down to a halt
silence around almost graphic
what to do with extra time
days seem almost stretched
unexpected undesired
today will be deeply etched
remain put and optimistic
let nature take its course
use this chance to recap on life
and trust the Source
liberated statue with
chain around the legs
share an act of kindness
give us free range eggs
who knows where it leads
when kids build rockets
role play robin hood then
line their own pockets
status wealth and power
display of egos round a table
come to senses if you dare
and are still somewhat able
the machinery of conflict
is greatest source of drama
to keep us on the edge of seats
and still wearing pajama

what do we love more
the product or its inventor
what do we love more
the children or their creator
does love pick sides
is it equal to all
come out of the trauma
leading to regrets
hurt and bare
in search for meaning
we stop the choosing
the day we realize
all is one… connected
loved
