Flight Qz8501

Abruptly now Sad tragedy strikes; Flight enroute Bad weather Storms magnify; Erupt and hurl Airplane turmoil In stormy squall; Now lost at sea Surabaya takeoff Bound for Singapore; Java Sea crash Search and Rescue teams Mounting massive search; A time-sensitive hunt Bad weather and time Pressure our urgency; A blindfolded seeking Debris afloat Physical recovery; Death deals remains Our collective humanity Shines in compassion; To try the impossible The news highlights Speak of no good news; Time will unravel stuff We say a simple prayer For the souls lost at sea; May the light of love shine May grace and goodwill Show you the way; To walk to that great light And for the sad living May you find closure; Let faith repair beyond despair So sad this weary world When weather swirls terrible; A catastrophic tragedy Alas! We come and go In any form we know; To start is to end Leon Enriquez 30 December 2014 Singapore
