Start Again

Brief message Wind blows this way; Listen well ~~~~~~~~~ Year ends here Airline tragedy; All aboard dead ~~~~~~~~~ So much pain Year-end debris; Heartaches mourning ~~~~~~~~~ Once again Violent bad weather; Frightening nature ~~~~~~~~~ Flotsam debris Choppy sea waves; Swirl dead bodies ~~~~~~~~~ Wet monsoon violence So many lives lost; Tragic endings ~~~~~~~~~ Words cannot contain Sadness and closure; Nightmares taunt ~~~~~~~~~ Traumatic episodes So much of pain; Issues unresolved ~~~~~~~~~ To venture forth Try unknown fate; Life bears risky moves ~~~~~~~~~ Dance to the light Free from old chains; Let soul rejoice ~~~~~~~~~ Loss brings pain Terrible and true; So much suffering ~~~~~~~~~ Here and now we pray For peace to find; Lead us back home ~~~~~~~~~ Tragedy starts Humanity mourns; Healing will come ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 31 December 2014 Singapore
