One

March 31, 2016

Can you speak to me, silent one?

Can you hear me with no ears?

Can you see me, with no eyes?

Hold me close.

Can you think, thoughtless one?

Can you feel without a touch?

Can you move, without a will?

Crying out.

Can you heal, warrior one?

Can you reach, with no arms?

All alone.

Can you make peace, vengeful one?

Can you fight with quiet?

Can you rest, full of spirit?

Reaching.

Can you love, heartless one?

Cna you read without words?

Can you run without a chase?

Stay.
