Anew
As earthquakes rumble
expand to split the surface
lives engulfed by loss
Tsunami washes
the earth’s crust while salty tears
seep into the core
Hearts shaken, broken
lovely lives drowned, buried, as
seasons’ sun radiates.
Still underneath skin
hope courses veins, awaiting.
Spring, where is thy bloom?
expand to split the surface
lives engulfed by loss
Tsunami washes
the earth’s crust while salty tears
seep into the core
Hearts shaken, broken
lovely lives drowned, buried, as
seasons’ sun radiates.
Still underneath skin
hope courses veins, awaiting.
Spring, where is thy bloom?

I am very pleased that you read and commented on my haiku verses. Somewhere in the world, every day, tragedy strikes, people who do not die mourn, put one foot in front of the other, and move forward. What courage they have! It is the caring in each of you that is the bloom of spring's promise! thesunandthesea, your words touched me deeply and you remain in my heart while I offer my hand, outstretched, should it ever be required! My sincere thanks to all of you for taking the time to comment on my writing.
Thank you for your kind comments. My heart struggled to write about this in any form but it finally chose haiku. Yes, I tend to think of Nature's expressions, however horrific, as neutral in intent. At the same time, I marvel at the human spirit's ability to remain hopeful in the face of such disasters.
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased you enjoyed the read.
