A Tale Of Light & Fight

Cataclysmic temblors

Exploding reactors

Unimaginable horrors

Unseen terrors

Monstrous seas

Shifting axis

Crashing waves

A catastrophic octave

Heartrending cries

Vanishing lives

Desperate tries

Drowning hopes

Tears, sobs

Time stops

Homes razed

Lives lost

Minds dazed

Radioactive rays

Fires blaze

A nation prays

to turn over

a new page

Unseen courage

Belief, faith

in the face of

a certain death

Cruel fate

Fight

Fight

Fight

till the last breath

Indomitable spirit

Valor, grit

Patience, thrift

A gift

Author's Note

I hope I did justice to what I set out to articulate...For words fail before the juggernaut of nature and the willpower of man...

This is an amazing poem, Siddhartha.. filled both sorrow and hope, pain, loss, renewal of spirit. I think when Nature tries to reclaim what is hers we see this kind of destruction.. we would do well to live on the land in peace with Nature and not destroy Nature.. she will always reclaim her Earth, though tragic it will be for humans. Excellent write, my friend.

I thought of Japan with this - a powerful write - striking descriptions - the flicker of hope in the darkest hours!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

your poetic encompasses the state of the entire world in its cataclysmic reality of todays~ and imbues it with that last indomitable cry of hope against defeat~

[Sukriti Suki]

we do like to take for granted the sure foot of our small history, but all the while, larger movements are apace

[Crowley]

Yeah, taking on that subject is brave to begin with, I think you have done a wonderful job capturing the situation and the hearts and minds that it will take to get through. Nice tribute...great writing.
