It bloomed like a flower over my home,
But no one dared to look,
with such extravagance,
That blew away the city.
But such a beauty was a sin.
Causing a darkness in the hearts,
In the survivors of the deadly beauty.
I lost too many on that day.
The pieces of my heart became scattered and lost.
Lost to the world with the souls of the people it held.
The meaningless tears fell from my eyes
As the aches in my heart eat me away
And the pains on my body become nothing,
As I become drowned in the deafening sirens
I look at the ashes that were caused,
By the seed growing and showing its petals
I lay in my bed, visited by no one.
For I have lost them all to the flower.
But I slowly understand the flower.
Why the seed was planted.
The feelings of its gardener.
And the reasons.
I began to rebuild my life after the flower had wilted.
I made new friends without forgetting the old,
My mind became more fragile than glass
But my dreams gave me hope.
I saw the faces of the fallen thousands,
Encouraging me to live on.
Without hesitation,
To move onwards while praying.
Praying that the clear blue sky never again turns red,
With the blood of the Atomic Bomb victims.
