she said, "the highest good for you is happening"

the highest good comes in a million disguises, its true.

wind's howling

Rate: 4 Flag

wind's howling

streets flooding

seismic shifting

lost footing

cars floating

facades crumbling

cranes collapsing

lights flickering, then extinguishing

firefighters go in with ropes, with lines, they call them

firefighters trapped

by water rushing into the firehouse

off-duty firefighters trapped by smoke

somebody's dying

bridges closed

every single bridge is closed

you can't get from one side to the other

cannot get from here to there

i look forward

to things getting back

to normal
