Heavy was the weight Of the building storm Roaring rain screamed Angry clouds barked The black sky fell Scouring the hard earth Land rendered muddy dust Nature at her most depraved Our freedom laid waste Do you hear them fall? As the unbelievable fades The tears of the brave, the lost In a place torn asunder, twice Terrorized faces within chaos With a will to survive Heads held up, brave For the children We do what we must Harsh circumstances The reality of life Confronts each of us Weakness is devoured Our mindset, survival Yet, patience testing every thread These long waiting moments Seeking lives short of time The whole world waits for good news Needing all the positive we can get On into the night’s darkness toil Sounds of victory and heartbreak Mix in their own tornadic whirl Rescues and re-uniting of kinds Till morning breaks as witness Dreams of better days a challenge As support floods in around us The world’s arms embrace community Sympathizing with natures tragedy What has now passed, left a scar Upon the earth and in our hearts Memories of what was before, tainted By the trauma laid upon their door In time they will rebuild in triumphMoore, Oklahoma will resurrect again

Fabulous job, guys.
Did either of you happen to know anyone who was hit by the storm?

I live North of OKC downtown and the storm was about 12 miles south of downtown. We know of several who lost homes. Several who survived. A few who have died 😦 Lots to rebuild and clean up right now.

I live far across the other side of the Pacific, my better half has family in Texas and Kentucky, but I don’t know of them having any family in Oklahoma. Over here we’ve had our share of disasters in recent years, which made finding a connection through words for what the people of Moore have ahead of them, something I could relate too.
