"lord, here comes the flood" Peter Gabriel

here comes the flood     TCLARE                                                             sept 2017
 

as we watch the raging waters devastate towns, communities, cities, lives

 we grieve the insurmountable losses being suffered

I ask that you take a moment to question, explore, ponder

who are you without your choice of clothing and fashion sense

who are you without your photo collections

who are you without your family name, relatives, history, roots

who are you without your family, your children

who are you without your pets

who are you without your fine trimmed lawn and beautiful gardens

who are you without your cities and towns

who are you without your Alma Mater

who are you without your vehicles, bicycles, motor cycles

who are you without your make-up, wigs and toupees

who are you without your choice of favorite local eatery

who are you without your flesh

floods, fires, hurricanes, disasters

feels like the reckoning

maybe it is time to look inside and see who you are, stripped naked of all earthly goods

you can’t take any of it with you
who are you without all of it
do you even know

dig deep into your soul

best you start looking now

i suggest bringing a flashlight, a pick axe and some hydration

you might be there awhile
