The journey has been great and terrible
We share with each other
Memories and tears
Water rising, wind raging, thunder savage
Reigning down upon us –
We – who were left
Left behind, as so many of us
Began in this world
Alone
Darkness and despair within our hearts
Aching for our children
Our families
The heartbreak of separation
Some enforced, some not
But alone still
Left to endure Nature’s ravage
Our tears becoming the rain
Paws reaching for safety
How can it be?
We ask in our hearts
As hours turn to days
Memories of our life and loved ones
Break the stillness
Of oncoming Death
No hope, no words, no touches
No One Comes
We shiver in water, debris, toxins
Our cries echo silently
A last breath, last look
Through pain-filled eyes
Our last thought
Of those we loved
And left behind
We stretch lazily in warmth and light
And look into loving eyes
Fear not, it is over
We are told
To cry no more tears
To look back with love
We are home, not alone
Heavenly lights enfold us
A new journey begins
