The Compassionate Silent Ones

: If our connection hadn't been severed—
the longer life of your love
might not have waited for me.
Let no one ever know this news.

: Why do you speak of such things?

: Don't cause me pain today;
to hold you deep within my heart—
how much helplessness is enough?

To keep touching you—
these grieving silences of the crematorium remain in prayer.
