THE ONE-ARMED BOY

by S.A.E.L. - Scorpio

One-armed boy traveling the broken road
Tree trunks are knocked in his path,
He doesn’t stop
He climbs over and continues on.
One-armed boy grasping an invisible hand
Knows not where to turn
Walking to a place imbedded only in the mind
Searching a path that has yet to be traveled.
One-armed boy trips on the stones
Falling into arms blinded
Whispers spread of hates unwritten
Swollen tears and empty giving
One-armed boy watches, unmoving
Leaves falling to the silence
Conforming to past falls
Music of forbidden secrets locked up in the mind.
One-armed boy rises up
Walks on water.
