The Flood

How to stand one's ground
When the flood drowns everything around
Conceals and buries under?

How to rebuild and re-design
How to forge as whole and re-divide
Broken and torn asunder?

How to speak without a sound
Without a voice utter the words profound
Into the silence?

How to comprehend and to abide
How to re-arrange and re-define
The emptiness inside?

Cold winds of the north
Black waters and the frozen shores
Are waiting for the storm

No trails leading forth
No pathway to the woods
Forsaken and forlorn
