Storms

    by Snipe

We stand dazed
surveying the damage
so much destroyed
in a single act

The island
has survived many storms
and each time
has rebuilt
stronger and more grand

This last threatened
to break bonds and sever ties
Do not hate the storms
they are mindless brutes
that collapse upon themselves
soon after they strike

This is a time reflect
on what the island
means to each of us
what we want to rebuild anew
and what will return
to the sea adrift

Use this time
to strengthen friendships
research new possibilities
and prove to all
what being Dinotopian
means.
