Smiling
There he sat watching his children in his heart
Picturing their laughs and songs.
Speechless
His eyes had reached the broken, polluted sky
He still saw God.
Reminiscing
The moments he shared with his wife
her caressing hand on his cheek.
Listening
The shots did not stop him from hearing:
Come, these arms will catch you from below.
Feeling
The blood oozing from the cracks
Of a heart freshly punctured
Looking
One by one, his offspring fell
Like dominoes.
Smiling
His child’s face fell infront of his; the warmth of blood
Meeting at last.
Watching
The soldier that walked away from a life
Lives. Freshly taken.
Weeping
the tears stung the ruptured wrinkles
which once folded at the site of his daughters' eyes.
Calling
From his soul cried out
God we are coming, accept this sacrifice.
There he sat watching his children in his heart
Picturing their laughs and songs.
Speechless
His eyes had reached the broken, polluted sky
He still saw God.
Reminiscing
The moments he shared with his wife
her caressing hand on his cheek.
Listening
The shots did not stop him from hearing:
Come, these arms will catch you from below.
Feeling
The blood oozing from the cracks
Of a heart freshly punctured
Looking
One by one, his offspring fell
Like dominoes.

His child’s face fell infront of his; the warmth of blood
Meeting at last.
Watching
The soldier that walked away from a life
Lives. Freshly taken.
Weeping
the tears stung the ruptured wrinkles
which once folded at the site of his daughters' eyes.
Calling
From his soul cried out
God we are coming, accept this sacrifice.
