Events fade out
but some
-like people-
they linger

Continuation
....but some few
poets and prophets
as poets can be artists
and prophets can be poets
where some can even be both
Dabo tria exempla
Like Isaiah in chapter 35
as Saul in 1.Corinthians 13
like Muhammad in Surah 89

Since my fall
into his heaven
i walk this earth
seeing differently
*
My heart is heavy
for a future to come
but my tread is light
as I walk in his steps
*
I picked up the cross
that he had left behind
as it lightened the weight
on my path to Gethsemane

I dug a hole in the ground six feet deep, yet
it was not just in the soil but in me i buried you
*
In your death part of me died too and while i interred you
deep in me, i shoveled dust and earth up to six feet high
in the hollow that was beaten in my psyche by your demise
*
I entombed my spirit in your death as i lost my right to love
that now lies planted a mere six feet deep in sacred soil
hallowed for you lie there, with my afflicted soul at your side

The light of a candle can bridge
the same distance as a supernova
it just takes a keen eye to notice
