Poem Artwork

At one time, the enemy.
Now:  friends.  Tomodachi.  They
need us now, since their world was
pulled out from under their feet.

From the other side of the 
planet, my heart breaks seeing
all of the devastation.

Words fail ...

   ...

      ...

except those whispered in prayer.

(c) 2011, Karla Dorman (3/11)

Yes, my heart goes out to all of the famlies and friends in Japan.
I lived in the Tokyo area for three years. They are so very kind and forgiving. I hope I can go to Japan and help them with my own hands.

United we pray,

Amen.

I wonder is Hillary will say America can't help unless the international community helps first like she said about Libya?

Moved by your words, Karla.

This is for my friend in Japan, Ryosuke Suzuki,
a marvelous haiku poet:

floating on the pond the wing
of a dragonfly

Domo arigato, Karla! Beautiful tribute to the people of Japan; as in times past, they shall rise again, stronger and more determined than ever before! They are in my thoughts and prayers during this horrible tragedy that's struck their nation! Well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
