Flood warning

[divot]

How deep a fathom, how much more

to send her over the edge

Reflections in those pooling puddles

Forecast for days ahead


Anxiety builds, impending torrent

Underpinnings stressed

Rising currents, mud raging rivers

Expecting more not less


Feelings strong, perhaps they’re wrong

Praying for relief

But storm clouds rose and thunder rolled

Drowning all beneath


Defenses build and fortified

strengthened though the years

She finally broke, it came to fast

No dam to hold back tears
