For All My Fallen Ones

Of all my fallen ones

I’ve seen

On the bare ground,

Motionless.

For all my forsaken ones

I’ve seen

You’ve left me against the wall,

Speechless

But I wondered,

If I- the human was left speechless

Then they, the brothers and sisters

Were left beyond speechless.

And If I- the human, could write and speak.

And they, the brothers and sisters, could not.

Then they, were left beyond sadness,

Could comprehend.

And I- only knew this.

Because I looked deeply

Into their eyes

And I saw far from nothing.
