grief beyond sorrow––
enduring because we must––
sun kisses the heart.
vast catastrophe.
the floating world is shattered.
courage lights the dark.
the known world explodes.
far away the people pray.
words of life bring hope.
earth quaked. tsunami raged.
water, air & land defiled––
our world did not end.
dear God, where there is
suffering, let there be peace––
& let there be light.
feeling you loss––
we care & we understand
& we will help you.
earth is as it is.
universe is unchanging.
clouds release the moon.
