Riddle#24 Who is My Family?

Who is my Family?

Step
back to the past.
Find
the way of the ancestors,
Grand Spirit Guides.

MEDIA GOT IT RIGHT

They got it right: graphs, alerts,
Evacuation plans;
Doppler 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.

HE KNOWS MORE THAN THE MEDIA!

THE CLOUD MOVED IN

What will the cloud hold next?
More than raindrops?

THE CLOUD MOVED IN

The cloud moved in, uninvited,
Brought in-laws: media’s family.
I gave them each a separate room
For comfort’s hospitality.

Brought in-laws, media’s family
With apps, upgrades, updates
That buzz eternally!.

I gave them each a separate room:
The games, the blogs, the dates
Room to flash and zoom!

For comfort’s hospitality
Had no idea they’d roar; compete
For domininity!
