Thunder cracks, sky ripped in two, booms echo, deep within our bones
darkness looms eerily, as the lightning blinds
the heavens open, a deluge washes over our minds
as the rain falls heavily on our homes
Water rises, like a feeling of rage, the ground cant hold anymore
rivers flood a blanket of mud, wet, sludge, the feelings sink deeper
under the storm, we shelter, hoping this isn't a meeting with the grim reaper
the water keeps coming, never slowing, this downpour
The rains show no sign of abating, like they have been waiting
built up to this, so much pain to release
as all around voices beg for help please
the waters reach their highest peaks, devastating
the sea level now critical, as it covers the coastal towns
this flood, that clouds my mind, keeps going
as the torrential rains keep flowing
panic rises with each inch of water, as the land drowns
How long can this go on?
When will the weather change? will the rain ease?
Who will be left to start afresh? we cant see the trees
Is this our last gasp for breath or a new dawn?
Thanks for reading.

Very well put Kyle you don’t know how much I appreciate you reading daily wisdom words more than you know
Thank you that is such a nice thing to say, and i always try to read your daily wisdom pieces very interesting and thought provoking, i feel being on here helps to find the poet and sometimes the person as well. Take care
Lol thanks, siri and auto correct have a lot to answer for!! Thanks for the kind comments, they are always very much appeciated, and i like the semi ambiquity of this piece, i enjoy playing with imagery and meanings. Hope it doesnt rain too bad!!
I’m sorry my Siri hates me
