I started writing this in Autumn 2019 after more flooding images from Japan. This week there have been deadly floods in Western Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Canada and the Western USA have experienced deadly and unprecedented high temperatures.
It's a love poem, of sorts.
I Think Of You
I think of you
as relentless rain
feeds tumbling rivers;
when waters rise,
dark and filthy,
and blanket the land.
When fires crackle,
searing orange-red,
driven by winds
that howl over
cracked deserts.
I think of you,
your fragile beauty,
our green Spring,
summer breezes,
how I took you for granted.
The tears won't come,
even now, when I know
you will never come back.
