Drowning from the deluge of
too-much rain from weeping skies,
I looked down at the swollen ground all around
and suddenly did realize
the shrinking aquifers were being refreshed, replenished
enough to carry us through many more years with life
with one of the few things life on earth requires.

Water.

Water, water, everywhere.

More than enough for millions to drink.

It is always good to hear your take on things happening around us. KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Thanks Ken

Good morning.
This is how I ultimately resolve my frustration with nature as well as humans.
Guess you could say I 'flip-flop'??? LOL

Thanks - I needed that reminder for the rain has been too pervasive here too - though not a deluge as those experience from the storms. Still, the "fire" danger is now low, and that's a good thing around here.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Well, hey, Kacy, you are most welcome.
You can even steal a line if it helps.

Susan, glad you could get something positive from this.
Eric THANKS!
Kraw, thanks mucho, if I steal/borrow a line, I always try to remember to give credit. In this case, your AM write kicked my muse into gear.
