Will Cherry Blossoms Bloom Again

Will Cherry Blossoms Bloom Again? The wrath of nature shows it face, in cherry-blossom land Where the Tsunami spewed salt water, and churned up piles of sand As it wiped out people, like a scathe cutting grass But this time, sadly, its memory will not pass When a wall of waves rose forty feet high Then, momentarily, they obliterated the sky As terrified people scrambled for their lives Little children, grandmothers, husbands and wives Two years later, this monument of horror remains As an untouchable shroud, that imprisons people's pains The black and burned reactors, now twisted and torn Are reminders, like hideous visions, there to warn The human inhabitants, of this planet Earth That the time has now come, to consider the dearth Fukushima portrays, from an unrelenting source Of our planet's anger, with unprecedented force These oceans could surge forth, time and time again Leaving behind gray pictures of misery and pain Like those now framing Fukushima's gruesome ground Where not a trace of healthy life, can be found Or the vision of a mother letting go her baby's hand As the dead child slips away, in water mixed with sand To me, the sun's our answer, to set us all free To see cherry blossoms bloom again, for eternity. oOo END
