'After the Flood'
“Filtered through black industrial clouds — a single ray that just barely reaches ground. So silently she cries out, as the last of her green in doubt — begins to grow once more, returning to all as was before . .
Across the skyline, I can see you — still can feel all you do. Every day I pray, won't you please come out and play — and chase all this darkness away . .
Hope and faith are all I have — that someday among the aftermath — happiness and joy is all there'll be — peace and love for ALL to see. Oh please, please won't you shine, and wash away this wrong from time . .
Golden eye, watching over us — I know you can see of thus; our struggle and strive — so many trying to survive. Please, please, oh please — just show your face, that all this sadness erased . . ”
