HEARTLESS

We are not heartless

We have beared

We have stood over this earth

When it rained thunder

And stood still

When all the tall trees fell.

We have frosted in snow

In the bitter cold hail

Yet still stretched out

Giving warmth

To dying flowers wild.

We beared the millions of edges

Of sharpened knives

Shards of glass

We never screamed

We never cried.

We are not strenghtened

We are numb

Too senseless by pain.

The only reason we trudge on

Is that one day

We will reach a place

Where the tears we shed 

In unison

Lost among crowds

In the rain

Tears mixing with heaven's waters

In dark places

For pity was too indulging

In silent screams

Would echo in the valleys and mountains

Vales and canyons

Reaching the skies

Reaching the place

We call heaven.
