Hi everyone,  I hope you’re all well. I’m sharing another poem with you today, and I hope you enjoy it!

Devastation. Decimation. Depravation.

If I stop to catch my breath
Then the cloud gets in
Exhale, inhale
Devastation.

Each moment of peaceful thought
Skips right to unrest
Skip skip skip skip
Decimation.

When I lie awake for hours
A sea of thoughts churns
Waves crash, drowning
Depravation.

Thank you, as always, for reading my words!

Until next time,

George
