How would I leave
With no good byes
How could I?
Won’t be no mean
This time
No need
Hide behind the scene
How could I?
How can we?
Stand in front of all this
Ever since
Buried under
All those ruins
Which a week ago
Were their home...
And they say
And I say
And you say
And we promise
And we get down
So down the bottom pit
We, fount of knowledge
And grieve
And we learn
There’s no other way
If we are here
Let it be
So brave
And you don’t want
To talk about it
For after all
What can we do about it…
Here I stay
Standing cool.

Wow, Dulce, after the earthquake, it's like you portray the spirit of the suddenly missing souls!
That is a moving poem, deep with thought.
Secretia
such sadness with this earthquake. We hope and pray for all.
This poem reminds me of how relationships can be felt like an earthquake. Missing souls, lovers, feelings, emotions, on top one week and sinking the next
DEEP ONE.. sweet Dulce.. Have a great SAFE HAPPY weekend
OMG...You have captured all that i have been struggling to pull out of me...I love this...Very heart breaking...
It's enough to make you feel utterly helpless. Excellent 55.
its very painful and very beautiful.
Very touching and beautiful poem and such true emotions for us all.
A fitting tribute to the people there and the people who are praying for them.
Joy and peace,
Susan
¡Ay Dulce! Me tocaste el corazoncito con tus versos, una vez más. Mil besitos!!!
Silly me. I didn't even notice the length.
Beautifully expressed, Dulce!
I have the people of Haiti in my prayers!
Have a safe & joyful weekend!

Very powerful... Your words express such depth and sadness.
Terrible sensación.
De gran impotencia ante el dolor.
Besos:)
What happens there also happens here when we realize that there are no events that do not involve us too because we are all connected.
It´s just like a song of Avril Lavigne says:
"And I don´t want to talk about it. I just wanna cry in front of you"
All I can thinjk of....
"Blue Spanish eyes
teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please please don't cry,
This is just adios and not good-bye..."
Song, about 1960
Words & music by B. Kaemfert - C. Singleton - E. Snyder)
Very moving and touching. Beautifully said!
Aww, Dulce... relationships are so complicated. And as always, you've expressed the beauty and sadness so well.
Deep, beautiful yet sad write...
It is a shame for Haiti one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean and the world, and now realize that some are poor but if you are always! and meanwhile, follows the substantial U.S. military budget, tycoons and football players earn huge amounts of money, the same banks in the crisis have obtained gains! despuésdelsalvataje 700 million dollars and recently we realize that Haiti is a poor country, and it will take something to realize that Africa is also poor. It happens that there is a limit on capital gains, so that among so much poverty there are millionaires! "I translated right? Do you understand me?
so well expressed
Very moving, Dulce.

I can only say what has been said here already. Very moving.
You have definitely captured what many of us are feeling and have found no words to express. You're amazing!
It's kind of a helpless feeling. Sure, we can donate money and stuff - some even went there to dig, but the insurmountable limitations are... limiting. And there is only so much anyone and everyone can do.
Te dejo un abrazo Dulce...

There's a haunting sadness to this, just as I feel for Haiti. My heart bleeds for all affected by this tragedy.
