Daily missive for Saturday the 26th of December.

 

How do people cope
When the wild wind blows,
Sweeping all before it,
Scouring the earth,
Laying waste to man’s
Carefully crafted plans.
Uprooting
The tallest trees,
The youngest saplings,
Tearing lives apart.
How do hearts broken
Still beat?
Find new rhythms,
Until the extra ordinary
Is normalised.
Tears,
Are the souvenirs
Of surprise
Mementoes of before
The fall
And they lie together
In deep salt lakes
Waiting to flow,
When the winds
Begin to blow
Again.
