Found

Found

In the streets the cries were heard
wailing that could not be soothed.
Families apart and missed goodbyes
a devastating start to a new year.


A murmur spreads and help emerges
from the furthest points they engage.
A people in need and we must reach out
across the water and into the rubble.


Movement begins and life is pulled from
the chaos below. A glimmer of hope begins
to spread, some who were lost now found.
Reunited, a few goodbyes thankfully postponed.
