TSUNAMI POEM WITHOUT A NAME


The silent ocean
suddenly a wall of destruction


Sleeping in the soft sand
mass grave


1000 upon 1000's of souls
brilliant flash of light
spiraling in a world between worlds


Fragments of pain
deep into the heart


Mounting numbers
of lifelessness


Empty shells


Larger then life
proportions


All I got to offer is
hope
in those darkest of times


All I got to offer is
oceans of joy
as dawn breaks
