I hear the aching
of those whose arms
wrap around knees
hugged to chest

they can't forget
the screams that once arose
only to be caught
mid-throat
while the heart
of countless souls inter-twined
while breaking through common cause

devastation

arising from the ash
and flooded streets.

Come then, unification

that a hand
might take a hand
to show compassion to
his fellow man

to not forget
as time passes by

God my spirit shudders

I hear the cries.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna

Well done sweet lady.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

There has been so much in the way
of natural upheaval, in seems, in
these last few years...who needs war?

Nature is finding her own cleansing tactics.

Well done, m'dear.
