The silent ocean
suddenly a wall of destruction
Sleeping in the soft sand
mass grave
1000 upon 1000's of souls
Brilliant flash of light
spiraling into the world between worlds
Fragments of pain
deep
into the heart
Mounting numbers
of lifelessness
Empty shells
Larger then life
the proportions
All I have to offer is
hope
in those darkest of times
All I have to offer
is hope
at those darkest of times
All I have to offer is oceans of joy
at the edge of dawn
Dedicated to the Tsunami victims and those still suffering from the 2004 Tsunami. Poetry written 26th of December 2004, song created by Jón Tryggvi 2007, video created 26th of December 2009.
When the Tsunami struck it had a deep impact on me and my older son. The proportions so large that it was beyond comprehension. On my island we got about 320.000 people - just the thought of almost everyone on this island losing their life to the powers beyond human nature to tame was something that altered at least my perspective of the world.
