With the thanks extended, I accept my “Perfect Poet award” with gratitude and nominate “nano1982” for her writing “Sparkle in Love” (http://nohaemile.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/sparkle-in-love/)
Here is the writing that won the love of “Jingle Poetry” and Yours…..:
In the sweet remembrance of those who lost their lives when a 9.0-magnitude earthquake hit the Pacific coastal areas of northeastern and eastern Japan on March 11, triggering enormous tsunami leaving 10,151 people dead and 17,053 others unaccounted for by 10:00 a.m. local time:
On the once peaceful shores of Okinawa,
When I came to find you,
I saw you in the wayward growth of the
flowers on the shore,
and in the warmth of your presence in the wind,
I felt you,
I heard your voices when the birds sang,
and I thought to myself,
you never did leave the shores
of Okinawa!

For some reason, it has been hard for me to write about the quake as it was to write about the one in Haiti. Such drastic lost often leaves me stomped…
What a nice and thoughtful tribute! thank you and enjoy the rally!

Yes, it always pains us to write regarding such events, it still is incomplete as i remain at loss to find the words for the deep sorrow that fills our heart when we think of the departed.
