This is your current contributor, by the name Raymond White; poet, writer, artist. Please share this very special poem I wrote for everyone who suffered the tragic disasters that the LA county wildfires caused.
Today’s Yesterday
I lost you yesterday.
I lost you today
When dark history separated us across portals of black seas
Between dusk, dawn, until the last sun burned it’s ray.
When the last crust of rubble Niles down stream
What difference does time make us?
We hurt just the same once fires blaze pain across our memories
And beautiful homes,
And takes away all of living life
Leaving just memories astray
Now wandering city ghost
Fleeting to search for lost souls.
When does suffering begin to cleanse and heal our world of scars?
Yesterday, I seen disaster leave a massacre of city fires
Now, do we wait for some foreign faith to burn us a star?
With a fulfillment of hope, to rage us desire.
I lost you yesterday.
I lost you today,
Once people passed, homes burned away
And our land was left scarred.
But I am pleading to God to lead us to the way
From where the sun shines,
And where the rain falls.
