Southern Discomfort
They seek peace in their souls
Hold fast the ones they love,
Carry on with newfound strength
And pray they are enough.
A light within their hearts
Seems to slowly fade away
Dimming all tomorrows,
Holding on to yesterday.
In the distance they hear
Purrs. The earth - it rumbles!
Vibrations trigger tremors
Reality – it crumbles!
Engulfed by the wind,
Soaring with the skies
Long past the horizon
A great spirit flies.
Memories now supplant
Each their own heartfelt hurt,
Embrace the love and say
Goodbye southern discomfort.
