Searching Poem by Elizabeth Fontaine Grieco

Gazing upon the oceans surface,
Of lost life without any purpose,

The call of misery and pain,
Shout out to me in disdain,

Happy memories of loved ones,
Ever seldom to be regained,

From a hellish explosion,
Unfolding within a moment;

Dismembered shreds to be claimed,
Never, ever to be quite the same,

Looking to execute blame?
Won't extinguish the flames,

That saturate our minds,
With pain; uneasiness lurking;

Desperately searching for answers;
Leaves us filled with rancor

To find our spirits undermined,
Is not an easy lesson left behind;

Will surely open our eyes,
of this tragedy to humankind,

And reveal our inner strengths
That can restore at great length

To those in need of seeking peace,
Beyond the corals and the reefs.
