Once Upon a Child
A tear fell
from the sky
the moment he closed
his eyes
alone on the streets
who knows why
his heart broke
gone was his life...
A tear fell
on the ground
from high above
from a cloud
in his hands
his pouch
where a picture
was found...
Who was him?
what was in his mind?
what did he need?
what did he hide?
what did he mean?
with all his lies?
he was a man
once upon a child...
What should I learn
from all of this?
should I forget?
could I forgive?
could I one day
feel clean?
trust again
and heal?
