Born March 12, 1948
Minstrel wandered through
Fire, and rain, out of life’s fog
To bring us his light
Born March 12, 1948
Minstrel wandered through
Fire, and rain, out of life’s fog
To bring us his light
From a year ago:
Life-giving waters
Transformed in a flash, become
Japan’s wall of death
Lands lurch and seas surge
Turn nature into monster
Devastatingly
Terror, anger, grief
Emotions crash like the tides
Overwhelmingly
Thousands lost, millions
Ever changed, a giant tear
In the Earth’s fabric
The sakura weep
Nuclear tears, radiant
With history’s haunting
Japan like a bird
Without a branch to land on
Pray its wings stay strong
