After the rain, after the destruction
The sun peeks from behind clouds.
Dark skies part to make way
for the tomorrow that must come,
for people to rescue, comfort, mourn.
After the rain, comes the sun,
bringing new life, new beginnings, hope.
Let us be the rays of sun
to light the dark days ahead.
Let us be hope personified, that
our Japanese brothers, sisters turn to
like sunflowers turn to the sun;
to grow, to blossom, to live.

ReplyDeleteThis is a well crafted and very visual poem. I love the analogy of human beings turning toward the sun as do sunflowers. This is wonderful.
