sandy storm: sfe 10/29/12 |
it's scary now, in this unknown
where things once set are being blown
and change rolls in whether wanted or not
challenging us to stay open in heart
hunker down or evacuate?
so unsettling not to know our fate
as winds blow deep and broad and long
our will is asked to yoke soft with strong
and sit with patience, staying still
while chaos dances at our sill
i protect mine, you protect yours
it's true: they say, when it rains, it pours
a breaking down will clear the old
perhaps to rebuild with a better mold
but for now unclear we wait and see
which way the storm will let us be
a bit of faith and belief in love
boston sun: sfe 10/20/12 |
so walls that keep us safe and dry
one day yield when the time is right
now through the darkness of foreign night
an offered prayer that what is, is right
and tomorrow the sun will shine serene
to show us the way back to each other again
