Floods Evoke
Floods evoke emotion’s depths
a deluge churning fixed sediments
no longer staid in aftermath
as roiled passions demand address
surges flowing outside of banks
normally holding feelings at bay
those channels bound to sanity
unable to gutter the craziness
lunacy at any other time
is transformed by the tide
now arousing awareness born
on the waves beyond the norm
a cleansing realized after the fact
during the flushing one vacillates
demanding an end before flood
renews a life with fresh resolve.

The floods to me are here because of the frenzy. People are buying food because later on it hard to find. Great poem. Keep on writing.
