RAINING CATS AND DOGS

 

life doesn’t come packaged
in a bandbox
tied with a bow
no, it does not

It often comes
full speed
like a hurricane

we are battered and broken
when we think
we have closed all the doors
latched the windows

safe inside
nothing can touch us here
sure enough
the wind takes the roof

we are exposed after all
all that we love
all that we care about
nothing is safe

raining cats and dogs

  2. "nothing is safe"...It may seem highly philosophic nonetheless this is nothing but true. Experiences teach us this way. Well put Annell.
