Japan

I'm not poet, but this is my thought process in light of the devastation in Japan.

  Japan

so full of families;

 people going about their lives

because nothing was wrong. 

It came out of the sea. 
The tsunami.

destroying everything in its path,

and at once all lives stopped. 

Oh Lord, what do we do

when everything is snatched away? 

Homes, clothes,

food, water,

mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers

sons, and grandparents, aunts and uncles, 

nephews, nieces, cousins, friends. 

In a moment

Ugliness.

Lord, be with the people in Japan.

only you can bring back peace. 

For they dare not hope everything will be alright.
