To RachelHeeter: for the poetry you shared with us. <3
When all you have is a single word,
To stem the tide of fear,
Roll back the ravages of time,
Or halt a hundred-year war,
What do you say?
When all you have is a silent thought,
To dry a falling tear,
Restore the sanctity of rhyme,
Or protect the homeless poor,
What do you think?
When all else is gone;
When you’re all alone,
And nothing you say makes a difference,
And nothing you think is noticed,
And no one is there with that single word...
How far do you fall?
