Everything is on top
On top of everything.
I would like to write about
Something really deep
As this out of beat breathes...
After hearing
about missiles here
and nuclear disasters there...
And all the support
our hearts can launch
to theirs
won’t reduce their devastation
in the least
and the pain they experience
and the fear and desperation
I can share in total confusion
Total helplessness
At awe- we are at awe.
How appalling life can get to be
On top of the previous ones
This time Earth spoke its mind!
And that could be me
and my siblings
And on top of all that
The unchangeable reality
On top of everything
More things, more debris
More bloody hell.

Powerful Words. You can never underestimate the power of nature.
It is so sad. Unfathomable, really. Watching their pain is torture--so their own suffering must be extreme.
Dulcinea, I had written a "blog-ment" and scratched it. I'm trying to simply comment, not write books here!
These occasions of world issues give me a chance to ponder, "What would I do...etc." The more I meditate (not on a specific topic) the more at peace I feel. I believe I would be suffering as well, but killing it somehow, with being of service in any small way to others--or another.
Nature will not--will never--leave us alone, I am afraid--grin! So I live...and die. Guess who still lives, even better so? Nature!
PEACE!
wow. powerful write dulce...we can surely feel helpless in the fast paced destruction being reaked in our world...
(Dulce) Such a sweet emotional response to current events. All is still well dear one. The wheel keeps on turning.
Great words!!!
Really just another day of hell, somewhere in the world.... It's better, I guess, when it makes the news.
this is all so true. sad and true.
my dear friends,
this pain we are somehow and so much part of should not even be a reason to write, yet i cannot write about anything else right now...
your comments mean a lot to me, to us, to them...
love --always
D.
you have to let it out and we as writers often find the best therapy in our words...
I have the same thoughts as you. Whatever I do, is not enough. Two days ago, I fell off with another blogger who put up teh Japanese flag on his site to show solidarity for Japan. I was quite angry with him. I asked him what difference will it make. I was a bit rude, but then that cannot solve anything.
Dulce, I don't know.
Joy always,

Es bueno, e incluso, necesario diría yo, escribir sobre el dolor y la desgracia.
Sólo así conseguiremos que no caigan en el olvido.
Un abrazo!!!
You are right to write, Dulce. That is what words are for. In our silences we can send volumes, but in our writng we can reach out to one another. It is because it is unfathomable, that we strive ... in whatever way we can ... to express how we cry out ... and hope that we reach those to whom we cry out.
A beautiful, heartrending post, Dulce.
i think we all share your feelings of helplessness in the face of these seemingly insurmountable global tragedies, dear dulce - and expressing our thoughts and feelings is so important - beautifully said, as always -
as you know, i've been away for a while - in the midst of family situations - and am not back full force, so to speak, but back, nevertheless - and so glad to have your hacienda to visit!

Very deep! I felt the emotions in this!
So sad but so beautifully written.
Alas it's so true!
Loved this.

Such a tragedy for our global family in Japan. Scenes replaying of the fury of Mother Nature - and the stoicism and courage of the Japanese just tear at my heart.
