Life Tsunami

May be we will start from aftermath

Can hope another tsunami won't visit again

Want to jump in to the common burial ground

Yes to become one more skeleton among so many

Aftermath harsh of course and a real killer

Is the life after tsunami not precious

I may say it is priceless in every sense

Can you hold on to it and cherish it forever

Author's Note

I was talking to a group, some living in an erupted volcano, some on twister, some on tsunami, am living on the shore of a turbulent river but way safer, so shall I complain or no, I should not, so today I decided to stop complaining until tomorrow's sunrise

This is wonderful.
Sometimes it takes a great tragedy to make people aware just how precious, fragile and short, life is.
Sometimes people don't take heed.
I think it's the feeling of complete helplessness when something like that happens and you wonder ' why them and not me'

Thanks a lot for the review, I am a person who complains a lot, and there are enough and more reason to complain about, but when I think of all these tragedy and the hardships people go through helping to complain lesser but still can not fully stop that even if I wish for it.

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

I think it's better to let it all out than to hold back and suppress these emotions. Like my old Mum used to say " better out than in ".

[Linda alexander]

That is great some one supports me complaining, you are right, once expressed heart gets more cleaner than accumulating nonsense

This piece was very strong and left me with the thought of whether or not it's better than to have lost everything or to be the one that is left behind picking up all the pieces of the wreckage. . . thought provoking - thanks for sharing

I lived in my own small space for so many years, lately can see the broader picture of the world which made me to think different, it is really a relief at least at present, thanks a lot, take care

It is true that when we feel bad about what is happening to us and around us, we can always see that there are much worse tragedies going on with someone else. We have much to be thankful for!

Yes, we complain a lot, sometimes we forget how much we have that others don't even dream of what we are taking for granted it. I like how you pick a topic and make a poem, nice work....

That very deep I like how you put this Linda:)

[Linda alexander]

Thank you for the review my friend, life will be only enjoyable to humans if dug deep and if too deep we will reach in melancholy too, so we will take the mid way I think, I wrote this after seeing some real images of aftermath of Tsunami, so we no issues compared to those candidates, still as it is our life there is no issue to project our concerns justifiable, take care

[0000000000000000000000000000]

Seeing is believing, you take care too:)

I find myself wondering why it takes loss to inspire us to cherish life so often...
This is a true mystery of life to me. Tragedy and life holding hands and singing us a song of hope. I enjoyed your poem Linda.

Today just went through some photographs of two Tsunami through internet while making sure spelling of Tsunami, as I wrote two sentence for fun in profile and word tsunami was in there, so hard to believe how dead bodies are piled up for common burial, the way the lifeless souls are transported, as it was huge number it was individual wrapping or attention was seemed like hard, one id carrying a placard saying looking for parents and two brothers, seemed like a tourist's eight or ten year old girl, world survived those tragedy, why we have to succumb to life Tsunami, thanks a lot for the review, take care
