Senses

The words were broken into sounds And the time was cracked in seconds. The seconds were dismantled slowly. I grasped my love and I laid it in remembrance, I grasped my remembrance and I laid it in the grievance, I grasped my grievance and I laid it in reason, I grasped my reason and I laid it in myself, I grasped myself and I stepped into the light, I grasped the light and I laid it over the candle wax. The candle dropped the light. In the light, the sense of life became clear. I grasped the sense of life and I laid it over the sense of death. In this sense of life and death, you laid The seconds, which were dismantled. They melted in pieces of eternity. I took those pieces and I gave them to The Lord. I gave love your name. I grasped my love and I laid it in remembrance And I heard the empty bell ringing in the sky. The bell would ring for someone else, But I remembered you. Poem by Marieta Maglas
