you sat there like a buddha showing us the way
we thought we could keep you here
we thought you would stay
in this place
we tried to be as good as you
and yet you left us
you left us
as quietly and suddenly
as a tear leaves the eye
falling
away from us
away from everything
spiraling
we stood there like fools wondering in awe at your calm
