Facing the hurricane

If doomsday is approaching, I wonder.

With Hurricane Irene near,

People fear.

Evacuating to safety like a horror-struck deer.


Wind blows with force.

The waves dash against the bay.

Everything in the world seems to be grey.

Everyone can get through it, I pray.


We couldn’t hide away from misfortune.

It might be my last hour.

I won’t cower.

Cause I have ever existed in the world like a blooming flower.
