No Shelter

Linking with The Sunday Muse #83

"After the Rain" by Cyril Rolando

As I stroll the spacious terrain of emptiness

That once was clustered with a myriad of greenery

I look around and weep at the vast amount of loss

to mankind and animals great and small.

The still of the morn

The call of a melodic tune

Brings creatures great and small

Subdued in the fog of daybreak

To rest reassured that perhaps they are safe

A picture of questions

What is this?

What’s that sound?

Are we indeed safe?

Ears alert eyes transfixed

Waiting in anticipation of what’s next

Paralyzed by a cacophony of rhythmic sounds

Will you help us?

Can you help us?

Help us please!
