New Poem


"When the World Goes Dark"

One day disaster will break it all down,
In howl of wind and tidal wave
Earthquake and hurricane,
Who's going to hold your hand,
When the buildings fall,
When the sirens roar,
It might as well be me,
The only true and decent voice you'll hear,
Out of shipwreck and disaster,
When the world goes dark,
Who's hand will you hold?
It might as well be me,
Because everyone else is going to flee,
Run like they never knew you
But I was never afraid
When every star falls from the sky,
The moon cracks and reason fails us,
Who's hand will you hold,
Through that longest night
Maybe I'm the only one.
Might as well be me,
As honest and loving a guide as you'll find.
