War Zone

I turn away from the dead place where
Your Heart once beat strong with
compassion and joy.
You deny the pain and the damage done
by holding in the radioactive tears
a man such as You
does not shed
even as they trace blistered trails
down the inside of Your cheeks,
burning Your very core.

Helplessly those around you watch ~~
Your luminous soul
crumbles, charred and black before us
needing only the rain of
true feeling to restore its shimmer.

We cannot save You - -
our tears do not touch
what is burnt.

So, we chant prayers
to the God you have lost
~ seeking a miracle
~ a healing for You.
