Thank you everyone who spared a moment to wish Jamaica well with me during the storm.
May you all be blessed.
A lighthouse stands firm as the storm parts, golden light breaks through, and hands clasp in solidarity.
Gratitude After the Tempest
Through thunder’s roar, through shadowed skies,
You helped to hold the line when hope ran thin.
You held a light - A lighthouse in the wildest tide,
You helped to keep the flame alive within.
Now calm returns, the winds have ceased,
And in this quiet, I speak your name -
With thanks as deep as ocean’s peace,
For lending your voice through fear and flame
You all took the time to care. You all offered support through a gracious gesture which meant more than you know.
On behalf of all those whose lives were spared. Please accept these words of thanks.

May abundant blessings flow continuously trough your hearts, minds and pleasant days.
Thank you.
Adding a prayer for all the other affected countries. Hoping for the best.

Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise —Write a scene involving two characters. Have the point-of-view character presume something entirely different about the situation from what the other character's overt behavior seems to imply. For example, a landlord comes to visit, and the tenant suspects that it isn't a visit but an inspection. Make up several situations in which one character can fantasize or project or suspect or even fear what another character is thinking. The Objective - To show how your characters can use their imaginations to interpret the behavior and dialogue of other characters.

Point The Blame At Your Heart
I write some poems, but not as many as others on Vocal. Most of my poems are about love—wanting love, sad love, or feelings of love. I think I am a big softie inside! Here we go. We blame love stuff on our hearts. We say “loving you with all my heart” and “you break my heart.” All love and feelings are linked to our hearts. We blame everything good or bad on hearts.

Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I just wish that there was more that I could do. I hope that everyone continues to remain safe.
It's the least I could do for everyone. May they all always be safe and blessed ✨️❤️
You're very welcome sweet friend! What a beautiful heart you have No! May God grant you the same! 🫶🏾
Lovely poem Novel :) I was worried Melissa’s impact would result in far more devastation. I know there’s still a need to rebuild. I saw a video last night of a man waving a Jamaican flag in the middle of the gusting winds and rain. It was an impressive symbol of resilience :)
Glad that everyone is safe.A beautiful poem, Novel.
I followed the hurricane-was glad Kingston and some other places were not hit hard
