Carry me through sandy storms, where smiles are real
and stoney hearts are kept
Far away
exchange my hour of disappointment.
Atone now, oh soulless foe.
Carry me to the land where humans grow
Carry me through sandy storms, where smiles are real
and stoney hearts are kept
Far away
exchange my hour of disappointment.
Atone now, oh soulless foe.
Carry me to the land where humans grow

Amen! On so many levels … I was near the Connecticut shore when storm Sandy came through … I love the shape of the poem — like a breathing in and out and I love the re-definition of “atone.”
