silence

cry
soft skin
little fingers
they touch me
hold me
tight

raising
courage
standing
unsteady
on
one’s feet

one step
then
another
we move
first slowly
fast

interacting
chatting
talking
discovering
our
world

singing
dancing
laughing
experience
the
joy

from time
to time
we struggle
but others
help us
up

we try
our best
give all
not always
we
succeed

our tears
we burst
we fall
some scars
will never
leave

time passes
looking
down
the wrinkles
on
our skin

our hearts
are full
of live
our thoughts
free
in the skies

our bodies
can’t
keep up
stand still
accept
slow down

what stays
are our
thoughts
the memories
once
made

it’s time
to let
it go
break free
light up
the sky

everything

returns

to silence

then 

a cry
