“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer,to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

A name is called.
A name is heard.
A blade is sharpened.
A blade is used.
Her hope drips
Away.
A name is called.
A name is heard.
Relief is drunk.
Her body does not
Refuse.
Alone,
She is.
A shout
Into the void.
Echoes greet.
None leave.
A name is called.
A name is heard.
Knowledge is gained.
Plans are set.
Her life drips.
Relief is drunk.
Shouts echo.
Names become
More clear.
A shaking hand,
A salt water tear.
Names are called.
None are heard.
No more life to drip.
Nor relief to drink.
Knowledge was gained,
Success was earned.
An angel flies.
She never looks back
Unto Earth.

Recently my friend committed suicide. This is a reach into the void, because her voice couldn't be heard.
