The Levees Broke

The levees broke and my soul went pouring out.
My heart rolled away with the flow of the water
As my people were washed away in despair.
I cried for my beloved, deceased and departed,
Tears flowed with the rapids over the mounds of dirt.
When the levees broke a piece of me was destroyed.
The place that I love was no longer a safe haven,

But a disaster area stricken by the works of nature. 

Sweet memories shuffled down through the streets

And sounds of the brass drowned when the levees broke.

With a dashing flee from the wretchedness about me, 

I prayed for a Saint to come rescue thee.
