Blessings for Japan

(The water has receded)

Treasures lost amidst the trampled smell of mud, where broken chairs and teddy-bears lie

Heartbeats taken too soon, amongst silent prayers

The wind, witness to evaporating tears on sunburned skin

The water has receded

All those who look upon; perhaps a cormorant spying a shimmer of gold

Once a memory of familiar

Shattered city ruins on distant shores

a billion eyes viewing

History, written in the hand of friendship

The water has receded

Seeds of compassion sprinkled, and faith once again shall grow

One universal consciousness, of, once beautiful memories

That; the gift that never can be taken from you

Now, the water has receded
