Storms come in
destruction amasses
and houses collapse
in the ashes
safe havens destroyed
families torn apart
like two ships colliding
on an oceans tide
leaveing us remebering
when a brother was a brother
in whom you could confide
a sister a sister
and a friend to the end
when a Mom could be a Mom
no one had to pretend
now all that seems so long ago
what happened to happiness?
that's what I'd like to know

Yes, welcome to our poetry community, and your poem has been a theme running in this forum for a few years now.  Although I live so far away from all the devastation nature has been taking on the US, I feel it just the same with my heart.  Sadly, people change during a time of pain don't they?  

Hope you enjoy the site, and I will watch for you.

         
Carpe' Diem

Hello, Kit! Welcome to this home of poetic kindred spirits.

The havoc and devastion wreaked by natural disasters can be so overwhelmingly gut-wrenching. You wrote well of this.

Giving you a warm, welcoming hug,

Earth Angel

Kit,

Maybe I got it wrong, but I did not read this as anything to do with natures disasters, unless of course you class mankind as nature!

I think this was a well written piece of poetry showing you despair with the  things that are happening to people and families.  There are some families that stay together, trusting and loving.  There are some that split up, lie and deceive and eventually see the error of their ways and again unite.

Unfortunately more and more people are drifting apart not worrying about the family values that used to exist.

If this is written from personal experience I hope things improve.  Welcome to PIP and I look forward to more of your work....

Ivor

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
