A midnight noon
tore the world
outside our windows
into shredded lives.
Glued to your heartbeat
two little girls and I
watched your eyes
for the first sign of a rainbow.

Mama Zen challenged us at Real Toads with these words, "Imagine yourself in
the safest place you've ever known. Let yourself sink into the details. Feel the texture, the temperature. See the angle of the light. Breathe Deep...and tell me about it in 53 words or less."
My family experienced our first hurricane after moving to Texas, Alicia, in 1983. In the midst of that horrific storm my husband, Charlie, was the rock that made us feel safe.
