Katrina

A wave strolls through the waters calm, and then suddenly a mile high, coming down rough and in a rage, did it not no we were here?


Watch the calm, see the storm, feel the anxiety, feel the fear, see the tears flowing from devastation and its destruction it never knew.


Lives that will never be the same, lives that will surely be missed.  All these lives changed, and changed forever


The sentiment of the things we left behind and coming back home could almost feel like home, but it's the rude awakening turning the corner and seeing all the things you've built gone....


Never knew what was so close could feel like war, I guess you could say the war of the waters strolling a mile high, coming down rough and in a rage, destruction, and Louisiana  in its way.

I've written several Katrina related poems, Rosalyn; none are as powerful as this one! This had to be penned from experience...Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I only viewed from television, but my heart and prayers went out to those who endured and survived. Blessings to you all.

i watched from afar but the devastation must have been so much more horrible for being more real to those living thru it.
