There’s nothing I could have said
The momentum was so far ahead
Everyone was counting winnings
There were no misgivings
I could sense a fated turning
The coming storm was churning
The tempest did come at last
It’s damage was swift and quite vast
No one thought to salvage
Lives were left in shambles
Search for the missing in the rubble
Do the heavy lifting fight for survival
Mourn for the dead with deep respect
Live on again after the storm
Build a new life after the storm
Remember how to smile after the storm
Take pride in the new after the storm
Learn what is true after the storm
You are free to lover again
Your foolish past gives birth to new wisdom
Bask in the light snuggle in the warm
Cherish all the words of your lover’s support
Savor the joy it’s love’s reward
Feel so fortunate after the storm
Singing in the night after the storm
There’s nothing to fight after the storm
The future’s looking bright after the storm
Anchored and alive after the storm
