Thousands dead, thousands injured
Thousands had to flee
Millions of residents in a conflict zone
Wondering if they'll ever be free

I still can see some trace

Velvet reed mace by the lakeside
Swans glide on the mirror serene
Buttercups gold among grasses
In heat haze a calming scene

'I brought some flowers'
I said to the nurse at the desk

Pointing out familiar places

Were you there when they needed
Your reassurance day and night
When trials and terrors came, did you
dry their tears, hug them tight

A bird hide fashioned in willow
With a high wooden bench to sit on
A long discreet viewing slit
A moorhen appears, then it's gone

To try stop a cyclone
