waves of wind
replace the rain
pouring for days now

flooded friends
not so lucky
populate all online

i close my eyes

sound surrounds
surges
and falls like
rolling ocean

sudden…
sharp and random
Snap! Crack!

i can no longer concentrate
relax… watch tv
the curtains billow up
partially covering my computer screen

Crack! …
again Crack! Crack!
Snap!

unlikely that any given tree
would fall on a power line
or the house

i think of my sleeping sweetheart
far from this island jungle
a dream makes her smile

my heart heals
with the returning rain

——

Blessed…
