It was a beautiful and sunny day
I can feel the comfortable breeze
The grass, the flowers, the sunshine
Sign of another day to seize
The skies ruling its solace
The colorful rainbows all raised
In plight was the joy, as if sorrows never existed
As if the storms of that night never really happened
The pouring rain
The chilling cold ever felt
Overwhelming disdain
And the drowning fear across my veins
I was still reminded by the anger those thunders have clapped
The raging skies of the still wistful land
With tears on my eyes, I have wished for peace, just this night
With shaking hands I prayed and kneeled for everything to just stop
I cried and begged
and asked for the gods
Forgive us, heed our plea
Raise us from the flood
I wanted to love the majestic oceans
And blue peaceful skies
But the fear and pain of the past
Won't let me go adoring by
The roaring of the thunders
And the raging waves of the oceans
The darkest presence
That sunk the ship and flooded the lands
I wanted to love the warmth of the sun
How every ray enveloped my skin
But the pain, it goes reflecting in my mind
When I remember how the same sun abandoned me
when the storms came
I wanted to love the paradise made
From the cruelest of rains and thunderstorms
Every painful beauty that there is
Every sign of pretty that came from what had hurt me
I wanted to love the creatures that existed after the storm
Every shape that comes in every sizes, beast or critter in any form
But it reminded me of the same love I gave to the animals I first met
And how they died in my hands when the disaster had set
It was a beautiful sunny day
I can feel the comfy breeze
The grass, the flowers, the sunshine
They exist as if nothing of the painful past has ever happened
It hurt to appreciate these flowers made
Even the grass, the trees and the blooming lands
To know that they birth from the fiercest storms ever had
No. No beauty it is that can be touched by me
Because as my hands land
From the very petal
From every tip of those grass
To face the peaceful skies, and deep blue oceans
Thinking of re-learning to love
I still flinch
All memories of the storm came crawling back
The deaths, the agony, all fear ever felt
Flashing back as lighting
The vivid images just never stops
By one touch, one view, one harmless existence
All those that completed the word paradise
Became a nightmare
In just a split second
And just like that, I still flinch
Writer's note:
The lands have already healed from the storm, why haven't I?
