Yesterday's fallen
washed by the coy side
of rain, hours have past
since its bullets of storm
sounds

a banner of birds
stretches the skyline
reminding the new day
has come again

open your windows!!
we are safe

(for the moment)

No. We are not safe, Emma. America is in deep, deep trouble.

Emma, you have to live in the moment, as you imply in your poem. And there is no room for fear in every moment or we could not stand to live. "Safe" is an illusion.
When it is our time to go, it is our time to go.

Enjoyed this, my friend.

Safe IS an illusion.  It only takes a shimmer in a life to destroy everything.

But the illusion is beautiful and we have to hold onto it as tight as we can and pray it never shimmers.
