I FOUND HER ON THE BEACH

I found her on the beach
Covered by just a few inches of water
A small scratch on her forehead
It didn’t mar the beauty of her face
Her lovely body lay there
Her hand entwined in that
Of a small child
My fiancé and I had been separated
By the tsunami waves
That came upon the Sri Lankan land
How could it be that in an instant
She is gone, departed
Her beauty is there
But her being is not
