It's summer and it's been raining

..the day before yesterday, yesterday, today..

..and will be for the rest of next week..

**

While personally I love it when it rains
for the peace and security I feel now
ironically
it is peace and security that are taken away
with the Disaster the rains are creating elsewhere
depriving people of their homes, jobs and sanity
and for some, Life.

Reading the reports of death tolls, sacrifices and anxiety
and listening to personal accounts
send a chill down my spine.

Looking at the heavy downpour by my window
the garden never so green and alive.
Whoever have thought that it would be
this catastrophic just a state away?

**

Flashes of The Day After Tomorrow
are in my mind

A friend suggested Noah's Ark.


**

The rain won't last forever
The floods will subside

My thoughts are with you
for the aftermath will be
the beginning of an end.

**

In comparison
I shall hold no grudge.
