At first
I thought you were diamond embedded
And then
I saw how imperfectly you were created
You willow crying like you lost perfection
And some of us
see your little perfect complexions
Hurricanes, tornadoes, strange omens wreak day's woes,
Foes unseen, it's of the people unclean,
Pollution sown so mean, this is not just a dream,
Fiends of torrential rain, causing pain as the water flows down drains,
The roaring crash of the waves,
The calm, cloudless sky,
The warm sun touching my skin.
This was home.
