My Hidden World

Sadness reaches further 
Than the shores of the island's heart
Stretching outward thru the banks 
Inward, where the rivers start

Population of the mainland
That, I do not know
But sadness spreads like,"wildflowers"
Past the shores of,"I told you so"

My forest once held vegetation 
That was green and full of life
Flowers once blossomed there
The aroma serene and nice

Life was almost perfect
Everyday was bright & new
Until the fateful day, heartache came,
And it broke the island into 

Quakes of mass destruction 
Swallowed happiness deep within
Trees collapsed on the spot
Flower lost their grins 

Hope was never given
A chance to run for cover
It remains trapped in the abyss 
Alone without its lover

Joy remains hopeful 
Clinging for its life
Upon mount envious
With jealous by its side

On that day, 
The 10th cold day 
In December you shared the news
That shock like a quake
It took away 
Everything 
I knew

Please don't feel sorry for me. It was a long time ago. Sometimes the things we think are bad (that happen) are actually a blessing. But thank you for your kind words.
