Uprooted



Deep rooted trees, uprooted,
As wild winds wreak havoc on the ground.
Power lines down, lights are out.
Danger is real! Heed the siren's sound!

Uprooted trees: cleared away

Hard rain pours down in torrents,
As hail plummets to punish below.
Titans clash in lurid flash,
When overwhelmed cauldrons overflow.

Uprooted bridges: are gone

One storm follows another
In a series of soggy ruined days
Yet, between crackling thunders,
Life moves on as we manage to play.

Uprooted plans: slight delay

Chain saws remove the rubble.
Soon downed power lines have been restored.
Mother Nature let us know
That her weather plans can't be ignored.

Uprooted lives: move on
