in the shadows

images of home

where childhood’s memories grew

gone in earth and tide


prayers for your safety

your memory's landscape died

oh god, all the people too

Quite powerful these few words, a chain of unruly seas, wave upon wave...
How great the power and precision of our earthly home.
Sure drew up the emotions Icebox.
Very well done.

A very scary realization indeed.

My home town, where I was born, was on the news this weekend.  Flooding..

How humble we become when we see and feel
that which turns our shores into such as
it does.

Ouch...
this aches and stings.

And really nothing else can be said.

How you manage this just amazes me.

Never sticky sentimental, but raw power of emotion

I could see you rubbing your head, m'friend.
