7 Words

A picture can paint a thousand words,
But seven words can grant that picture life,
And immortalise.

Picture me this;
a man
half asleep
his hand
busy
creating verse
from nothing
in the
dark
silence of the
morning
his words
an epitaph
to another's
life

Write me this;
an artist
drawing
a thousand tears
flowing
silently
from the eyes
of a father
and mother
lost in
grief

Draw me this;
a girl,
in distress
with an exam
ahead
that she knows
she will
desperately
fail
she wants to
kill herself
kill herself
now

Engraved on her tomb,
seven words;

We Love You

and

Rest In Peace

and

Why?
