"Orphan"

"Orphan"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD


I

Son is the loneliest word I know

Because it can only be properly said by you two

And now you are gone

I am caught here in this space

Wondering around 

And lost in this gaze


II

Wanting to hear it

It echoing still

In the beating heart that you have created

With the love that have shared

I am an instrument of that love

of the essence that you were


III

Son  , I take the word

My weapon and my shield

My staff and torch

It is who I am.

Lost though I maybe.
