THE MEDIA WAS RIGHT ON

They got it right: graphs, alerts,
Evacuation plans;
Doplar flashings: East Coast- Great Lakes
North to South: damp to frost
Wind speeds!!! Moon pulls!!!
Irreversibles!
Floating cars, boardwalks, subways.

We weren't ready for the darkness
Looting
Grasping through our private space.
Our hope's been struck
Fractured.
Can't sew it up quickly.
Only SLOW remains.
Slow shallow breaths:
Not the stink of it.
Rather cling to spirit strength:
The grace to walk on water!
Arms extended to the One Who
Lifts me up, makes all things NEW!
He knew. He knows.
More than the media!
I'm in his arms.
