Haiku

The rivers still run
in Hiroshima City.
Forever, quiet tears.

Linda and I spent a quiet morning wandering through The Peace Memorial Museum
in Hiroshima.
 
It is a very sobering place 

with many poignant art works..
this one from Richard Branson and

many are gifts from countries around the world.

A model of Hiroshima, 1945. 

8.15am
sixth of August, 1945. 

in an instant.. Hiroshima was gone. 

The heart-breaking stories.. 

will never be forgotten.

  1. What a moving tribute to the people of this city. The horror of war never seems to end, but there is beauty still to be found everywhere. The image of the little girl and her jacket must have been terribly moving to see....
