and just like that

it sometimes takes years to change ones life

for better or for worse.

but sometimes, change happens

in a moment

when a wall falls on a loved one,

when a floating guitar was this close,

when a friend is knee-deep in mud.

i know i wished you some pain.

forgive me but it wasn't this type.

many many things will be said

about the storm, the response, the future.

may they go beyond words.
