Hope Less But Hopeful

Tranquility inside; Tenderness within; That’s my home, My mommy’s womb. Fervently coveting to unite; With the near and dear; Certainly, shall indeed arise as a limelight; Anxiously until….. I heed loud screams, hue and cry; Began to toss rapidly within, Mommy began to run quickly thereby; Panic-stricken, I continued to tailspin; Alas!!! It was my last gulp of air; I lay within, soundless; My ideas and dreams devastated; Mom rested speechless; Dad howled deafeningly in pain; He is missing me and so am I; Those gigantic waves gushed in; Took my breath away; Took my dreams away; Tsunami was the cause; Helpless were numerous; Effects were agonizing; I lay cold; I lay within; God.... Why me? What have I done? Why have I been castigated? Why can’t I talk to dad and mom? Why have my dreams been shattered? Why can’t I be there to explore the world? Unanswered are these questions….. I still lay rigid…. Tears flowing…. Hoping to get an answer; Hoping to convince god; I want to go back; Back to the place where I came from; A place full of dreams and aspirations A place full of love and affection; Alas!!! I still lay cold I still lay within…
