Inner Woman

Siren blaring

Wind swirling

Rain driving

Thunder cracking

Lightning strikes

Hail alike

Flood instant

Debris soars distant

Souls seek shelter

Terror, swelter

Homes fly high

Injury nigh

Sudden silence

Neighbor’s fence

Wrapped around

Torn free of ground

Flower shorn

Petals adorn

Stripped siding

Destruction abiding

Hidden in the mess

Found with no distress

A baby cries, alive

Hope will survive
