Where I Drift

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Haunting Waters Imprison me Capture me in Death Eternally Speak for me now For my chance has gone My body to illustrate As I float along Forced into Darkness Rememberance of mental pain The unknown turned into acceptance With the downpour of Demonic Rain My fleeing not as swift As Katrina's fierce arrival She swallowed me completely Left me with questioned survival Battle fought and lost Casualties left to swell Floating in her Aftermath Stolen to her hell A voice in light calls Seperated by the darkness, deep Joins a chorus of chanting seekers Object of hopes now in watery sleep
