Empty Rooms

Cry out world Cry out in agony For the man you killed needlessly Cry out for the woman Trampled beneath roaring armies Saluting soldiers And sudden death Cry out for those Left alone in empty rooms Cry out at the entombed, the submerged, the torn apart Take two pieces to make the one Take time and touch Take love and life To the man wandering in the desert Uttering thoughts in solitude I must give a hand The desert is empty and dead Let us leave it.

Sweet, compassionate Tom, this is a truly spectacular piece, written with love and depth and the ability to see, in its truest sense - these are haunting images, and I had to tell you how amazing this was - I just loved it. Miss you, Kristin
