(to those affected by the tsunami in Solomon Islands and those with memories to live with)
a passing wave came
in a way, unimagined
because for centuries its a friend
but it came with its might
swallowed all it could
inflicted pain and misery
but things come and go,
it left an eternal scar
it left a legacy
the passing wave left
in a way, imagined
for us to rethink our way
the best way – a way forward
