Sense Sonnet - Acher

 After the Storm

After the storm I'm still alive,

Banged up and barely hanging on,

But just glad that I did survive,

Though most all of my stuff is gone.

I know that I am not alone,

So many others hurting too.

 This storm was the way worst one known

In my home town to have blown through.

But this storm is over, and I

Am helping in my neighborhood.

The sun is shining in the sky.

We're sharing love and that is good.

Uninsured house did disappear,

But in my heart, home is still here.
