It is a given you are beautiful because you are alive

The sister of Noha Abdelmoula, who was killed earlier today in Homs, was also injured.
She says:
Oh God. I reproach you Bashar, to God. May you be deprived of your children Bashar. What have we done to you that you would do this to us? God is great.
I translated every word of this with shaking hands and tears clouding my eyes. I apologize for the inaccuracies, and please correct me if I made any mistake.
I try to blog beautiful things; however, the world isn’t only beauty.
introspection
Are you searching for something you do not contain,
or are you a cavern?
Perhaps once your depths are filled with soul-water,
and the sediment has settled,
you’ll find what you seek suspended
in your hopes and dreams,
and polished by your trials.
DARK PINES UNDER WATER
This land like a mirror turns you inward
And you become a forest in a furtive lake;
The dark pines of your mind reach downward,
You dream in the green of your time,
Your memory is a row of sinking pines.
Explorer, you tell yourself, this is not what you came for
Although it is good here, and green;
You had meant to move with a kind of largeness,
You had planned a heavy grace, an anguished dream.
But the dark pines of your mind dip deeper
And you are sinking, sinking, sleeper
In an elementary world;
There is something down there and you want it told.
- Gwendolyn MacEwen
