Surviving The Storm

When full force of a storm has been experienced

You truly understand what it means to be alive !

Being here after such violent turmoil has occurred

Invigorates a battered soul, so grateful to survive !

..........................................................

The suns rays breaking through dispersing cloud

Symbolises the best this cherished life has to offer.

The warmth is never more appreciated and enjoyed.

It's clear what extremes you sometimes are to suffer.

.................................................................

Fragility of our existence  has been made apparent

With destruction showing how insignificant we are

Shock and awe are reactions to what nature sent,

As we reflect it is not mankind that wields real power.

...................................................................

Everyone comes together to repair damage done

Labouring to return everything to how we want it

Knowing one day another ferocious test will come

Again proving we shall not be masters of this planet.
