TITLE: Sirens

This poem is about worry and anxiety. Essentially, we all-to-often build images in our mind regarding stress and allow our problems to escalate seemingly beyond the knowledge and control of God.
-Sirens-

Fear, sirens
Gripping my heart
Alarming my nerves
Scared of the rain
I’m scared of the wind’s power

Quickly moving
Yelling aloud
Praying aloud
Scared for my family
I’m scared of the storm’s anger

Rushing hurriedly
Opening the latch
Throwing them in
Scared for our future
I’m scared of the tornado’s destruction

We huddle and shiver
Drenched in rain and soaked with fear
And the hours pass as we
Hope and pray that our lives will
Not be utterly destroyed by this
Tremendously violent and tumultuous
Storm

As the noise subsides
We peek outside
Only to find
That a baby elm has fallen
But the house stands firm and sound
