The Warning

my response to trauma

The warning, the warning in my heart.
The warning, the warning hath yet to start.
The warning that came so loud,
that came so clear.
You could hear it from every mountaintop,
from ear to ear.
The warning, the warning I did not heed.
The warning that left me on my knees.
The warning that left me on the ground.
The warning that I turned from and frowned.
The frown to a smile,
the smile to laughter.
Then soon after my laughter
turned to disaster.
