THE FLOOD

I return again with another story...
to share the making of another history...
when the heavens cried out their tears...
like arrows streaming from the realm of HADES, they pelted us...
raping the bare land like the tsunami Katrina...
naked i stood, unable to see beyond the clouds...
i watched the flood form...
i watched it defile women, almost striping their gowns off...
i watched men swimming to safety...
i watched children staring helplesly at their mothers...
i watched me unsheath my sword...
without a word, i matched to confront this watery abysmal cauldron... 
i fought with death till i died no more!
