Natural Disaster

by Hannah Lizette   Nov 9, 2012


Frustration cracks across the bitter sky,
your voice booms, colliding with rumbling clouds,
echoing past snow-capped mountain tops,
blasting straight into my tired ears.

Splintered pieces of what once was our home,
now lay in pieces and piles,
waiting to be salvaged and boxed,
waiting to be labeled his or hers.

I'm cold.
I don't know how to keep warm without you,
I need you to be my rock salt.
Will you salt the rocky road
that leads you straight back into my forgiving heart?

Please don't let us become just another natural disaster.

    Oh Mercy, this hits home for me on a personal level.... I too forgave and almost fell victim to a "Natural Disiaster" Myself... :-( and now I'm teary eyed, but also comforted with this write...

    Hannah- the Metaphor you designed for the message was beyond fitting and creative... truly love the angle you took with this... and the feelings wrapped within added that special ending! Beautiful piece!!

    I like how you have compared your relationship with nature, in this case a natural disaster. Each verse which you have weaved with nature shows the reader how rocky one's relationship is and the way to fix this disaster...well penned...take care.

    I wasn't sure where u were going with this
    Until half way through , nature has been used
    To describe feeling but this felt utterly unique

    Such powerful words the images just stick in
    Your head , a really awesome piece :)
