4:13 AM
Awakening to the
Phone blaring
Something about
Tornado warning
Pants on
Shoes on
Shirt on
TV on
It’s clearly
Not good
Looking outside
It’s clearly
Not good
But it passes
And we have
Minimal damage
To a few trees
While neighbors
Contend with
No power
She’s dealing
With adrenaline
A challenge
For her
My challenge
Is to be calm
In the face of
Her distress
To not be
Another form
Of stress
Which I do
Quite well
Because I adore
Her
It made for
A long
Tiring
Day
