dark night 2 (the storm)

there are things that teach us all great lessons
when the elements so touch us that we can't
imagine that our lives could be in session
with the gods prevailing 'ore our rants

when circumstance or nature brings a shock
that even the most jaded can't avoid
we are inundated and we're mocked
by nature showing power ever poised

we hear of the disasters far and wide
affecting people from another place
and when disaster shows up by our side
we're shocked to know we're part of the human race

humbled by the circumstance today
i pray for those who suffer in harms way
