Katrina

Through an ocean of tears
I float on my memories
Pushed by events of today

My sail of life continues to fill with winds
Reminding me that the scenes of suffering never change
And the memories of yesterday always navigate with today

I want to navigate to dry land
But my sail of life continues to fill with stormy winds
Pushing me into the stormy currents I sailed in my past

Rolling my sail up and
Climbing to the top of the mast
I realize there is no navigating a hurricane - just a search for help
