WARNING

Home is where you feel safe.
Mine is built from parts of you,
it's true.
The walls, the doors, the roof, the floors
constructed from your love and warmth,
your trust keeping me secure
with the world outside our windows
less welcoming than everĀ 
my faith in you unwaveringly sure.

Now I hear amber alerts-
Storms are brewing and it could be rough.
Scenes are changing rapidly,
tacitly I'm warned
how it could all be blown apart,
to start my preparations
for when the debris of my certainties
plays daggers with my heart.
But I can't.

Fatalistic prophecies
of severe damage to properties
are thrown around so often,
exaggerated for effect,
designed to see if we elect to listen
or dismiss them all as nonsense.
So sitting here, unprepared.
I feel it closing in and know
there's nowhere else for me to go.
