tossed on life’s trash heap
been silenced by tragedy
hard to rebuild strength
Sadly, the inspiration for this piece comes from the recent devastation of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, specifically regarding the horrific situation my dear friend, Gail Leadenham, had to endure. Thankfully, she is alive, but she did get injured. She lost her house and the wonderful Cerebus, her puppy, who I got to know when I visited this past August. You might remember the Wordles she and I wrote while I was there—Two Creatives Getting Creative.
While my poem speaks to the incredible sadness of the situation, I hope you can find it in your hearts to aid her during this challenging time, showering her with love from afar and helping her return to some normalcy with your support. Every bit will help! Thank you!

what a tragedy she has gone through, my love, support and thoughts are with you Gail! <3

I have friends in NC that have had trees fall on their home, and another had water and mud in her home about 6 inches deep. It is a big disaster and now there’s another hurricane on the way!
