Can’t express my gratitude for the honor.
Eye of the Storm
The southern Belle stands knowing
The storm is imminent. She looks
Towards its development, but is gazing
Towards home, worried that all, in blinks,
Will disappear through the cyclone,
Flood, twister, desert storm, any and all
Possible, as she blinks and stands like a stone,
Her wandering mind building a fall.
A fall from greatness, as she and hers
Are destroyed by a destructive nature
That has no mercy, rather only a force, a scouter
For vulnerability, and pitilessly attacks
Land, sea, farms, concrete jungles,
Where none can stand up to the veracity
Of their powerlessness when faced by nature’s
Omnipotence over those living on earth, stately.
