A Tribute to the Road-side Victim
To one named Unknown,
Nevertheless most important,
Your imprint will last with me, even after I forget.
A candle lit, for the fire abruptly cut-off
Maybe with a moment notice or not.
More than a minute silence, by shock and for respect,
For a voice never heard here again.
For the bereaved Ones,
Relatives by blood and love and more,
Blissfully ignorant until painfully aware,
Bad news that will shatter and break.
Tears that can never bring back,
Smile fading, painful and sometimes foolish talks,
And prickling cold, not for the weather.
If your soul can see these,
Body arranged like a sleeping doll,
My consolation comes from the hope that you rest in Peace,
in the real sense of it.
