From Where I Am


From where I sit indoors
everything is warm
here within I’m not affected
I feel secure and protected

From where I’m situated
I can barely see
A storm outside tormenting
A blizzard unrelenting

I realize I am privileged
And others unlike me
Are displaced outside
They’ve got nowhere to hide

No where to seek shelter
Devastated homes forsaken
A fate they never planned
How do they withstand

The cold, the bitter sting
The hollering winds
The snow falling

From here it seems so distant
My place is so removed
I can’t see how it’s real
No wonder I don’t feel
