Tear

Stillness casts a shadow over her

The Sumatran night hovers nearby

Stars overhead hanging in confusion

Insects afraid to disturb her thoughts

Her eyes lowered in supplication to end

The journey consuming hard-won sacrifices

The path rushing to a place called ‘Nowhere’

The dream crashing like a dying meteor.

Does anybody hear her when she cries

Does anybody know if she no longer cares

Does anybody see beyond her eyes

Does anybody enter her cloud of pain.

If anybody is awake to her unspoken need

Or know how to gatecrash her fortress

Engraved into her mind, and has

Locked her away, caged into submission.

If you find her in such a hidden place

Then just take her hand and lead her away

Make sure that you cushion her feet

Because her journey is not yet over.

And just maybe, she will care about you

And open her eyes to the guardian of her sleep

And just unlock her love … and release it

Into a safe place somewhere near your breathing.

Can you collect her sadness inside your hands

Can you find a place inside your heart

Can you touch the moisture of her eyelashes

And collect her tears onto your tongue.

Will she surrender herself to you

Will she allow you capture her soul

Do not forget, she is no one’s possession

Her miracle … she alone possesses you.

Author's Narrative: How does anybody survive the emotional upheaval when self-destruction happens to someone close? Are they defensive and protective towards themselves or do they open up their vulnerability and accept the outcome.                                                                   Rod Polister- 2013
