The sadness comes relentlessly, like the storms none of us can control
The darkness a hurricane destroying all in its path
My emotions, thoughts, ambitions and dreams left frayed bits of dampened timber
the days it takes to repair all that has been left behind causes the loss of motivation
A community cannot be built , thus happiness cannot be restored in my life
Even on the brightest of days houses are left half torn, half safe
Cars overturned and mailboxes in fields where crops once grew
The efforts are useless, nothing can be repaired because
There is always a hurricane on the horizon
Ready to damage all that has been replaced
