Forces of Nature
By Murray Dunlap
It came in like a hurricane
Nothing left standing
Just a breeze through my fingers
In this shadow of a life
Once lived
But now living again
Nothing is stable
Nothing tied down
Nothing remains, that was
Through forces of nature
A life overturned
But to begin again
Is the freedom of happiness
So beautiful and so true. Murray you are amazing and have defied all laws in your recovery and appreciation of this great life!!
You write with great passion. This subject s something I can appreciate. (Hurricanes)
