Don't Tell Me

"And if you want the wind of change 

to blow about you 

and you're the only other person to know, don't tell me

I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band."

- The Moody Blues


How does one comprehend

the scenes of flooding,

washed out roads,

devastated homes,

tears in tired eyes.

While far away in distance,

such a disaster cannot be

far away from one's heart.

Even in the farthest reaches

of my imagination,

I cannot begin to fathom

the pain of those affected.

These thoughts

don't tell me.

Neither can my words explain

or ever know.
