Standing

 

how do you stand

watch the world

revolve around you

rot around you

above the cycle

untouchable ivory

uncaring stone

your heart unbroken

your words unspoken

 

tears unshed run

down your cheek

pool at your feet

pour over the masses

littering your world

broken people

barren lives

shatter your dead heart

set you so far apart

 

cannot touch spirit

soul without feeling

seeks to embrace

seizes the moment

breaking the paradigm

choosing to care

caring to choose

heal their mortal pains

wash their human stains
