this is a poem i wrote for creative writing about the tsunami:

"Flowers"

Lying with the dead and dying,
Writhing,
hiding from hell on earth,
sits a solitary lilac,
glistening beside
twisted faces, crying and praying
for the dead who are
rotting, clotting,
in silence.

Observing death flowing,
showing no compassion
to the shrieking carnage
painted on ashen
faces, lashing hopelessly
against the vast
submerging
silence.

Decomposing, putrid and cozy,
For a watery eternity.
Quivering lilacs sway peacefully
in the oceans wind.

Silence.
