Dear Reader: I started thinking about Pearl Harbour Day, that date is now upon us, and I remembered this story. I wrote it down in free verse. Thank you.

That night
Luna glowed as bright as a silver coin,
Pouring down
her liquid light into my room.
I stayed inside the warmth of my sheets
Feeling safe inside my nest,
And listened
to my sister’s dreams inside her sleeping sounds.
Aki and me,
were laughing for no reason,
We spent the days in her back yard,
Her mama watching
from behind the window
We were watching the Koi
Silently swim
below the lily pods.
Aki and me,
Now dust from an old man’s shelf.
“Mama!”
Was the sound that woke my sleeping
I felt the rumble coming before I heard it.
the windows rattled inside the putty
And I lost all thoughts of slumber.
