    Louis Yako
    “Broken tree branches
    Scattered flowers
    Bent street light poles
    Cut electricity lines
    Dead birds
    But the weather is beautiful, and the breeze is refreshing…
    My heart is full of an after-storm peace and tranquility…
    The real tranquility is the one that follows not precedes the storm…

    (July 1, 2015)”

    “Embracing The Storm

    The key to living through storms
    Is embracing them

    Taking every moment of beauty
    Every sadness
    And knowing it is your own

    Leaving the ones that have passed
    Letting go

    Facing the newest times
    With even the smallest bit of courage
    Though it can be terrifying to try

    Taking on the storm
    And then watching it
    Pass by”
