My personal tribute from India HOLD ON... When the earth quakes And the ground shakes Hold on…there’s something that can never be shaken When the oceans roar And the waves soar Hold on…there’s something that can never be drowned When a volcano goes burst And the rivers of fire head on in an unquenchable thirst Hold on…there’s something that can never be burnt When atoms are in anger And threaten to consume everything around in hunger Hold on…there’s something that can never be in nature’s dining menu When days are covered in snow and cloud And every passing moment is a virtual black-out Hold on…there’s something that can never be held captive by darkness When the way is littered with the after-math And the damages are beyond any numbers of math Hold on…there’s something that can never be damaged When each moment in search of a loved one seems an aeon And death stares life at its face, and you feel life is but a blip display in neon Hold on…there’s something truly immortal within you When the mind is traumatized and paints today in monochrome And life is minus the colors and gone is that wonderful place called home Hold on…there’s something that is a refuge when you seem to have none When emptiness is all that fills your living space And forgetting the language of smiles is your distraught face Hold on…there’s something that will keep your moment always sunny Unshaken, untouched, undamaged, undying… lives on the human spirit Never preyed upon…always prayed upon In little prayers, in candle lights In our thoughts curtained behind closed eyes In our kids’ concern for you over the dinner table In little words such as this over cable Japan, you are not alone Together we share this earthly home We are all together on this as one Between a shared earth and sky,we are one family human So hold on and be strong dear japanese bretheren. You are the most resilient and buoyant among us
