Silent Killer

Terrible devastating waves came,tearing dowm my home The beautiful silent house, shook to its very foundation And then the chilling snowfall, or was that a balm from Heaven

Tahera, I love the comparison of snow to a "balm from Heaven." Very appropriate analogy. You really brought to life the devastation of the tsunami, Tahera. Best wishes in the contest. Join me in praying for the people of Japan. Love, Carolyn

Beautiful thought of a disaster shaking the peace and then balming by snowfall, that is nature or heaven. Quite deep and meaningful

Oh,my, this seemed symbolic of something ominous except for the way you ended it balm of heaven, now I am not sure. It sure is a very interesting read, Tahera. Last night it rained here and my car was very dirty from the rain and I heard that it was because of the fallout in Japan affecting the air all over the globe. The line about snowfall made me think of that.
