Those who have lived, and died
Day and night, from another world,
they shout, silently.
In city streets, on country roads, battlefields,
they weep--
rain softly splashing my window, sometimes
a lake lapping the side of my house,
their force lasting
beyond death, alive in me.
I dream their dreams, feel their hunger,
their suffering.
Through them I mend my life, become
my creator.
