SACRIFICE

Together they travelled
Many miles holding hands
When his enemies attacked
From before the rock barricaded
When they came from behind
The rock blocked their arrows
The rock was surrounding him
On both sides without ever letting go of his hand
     The rock was tender;
A colourful singing bird at dawn
And again in the late evenings
To him the rock provided
A shelter, a stream of smile
    But he often looked up, and doubted
Refused to trust this source,
He thought when he would need to run
Away from his enemies the rock would block
The rock's height, the rocks wide size

They travelled many miles
The rock provided food
But he often heard enemies coming
He looked up and whispered:
Rock so hard, you are a stumbling block

The rock swallowed all the arrows
Of the enemy the rock accepted pain
All around it you could spot wounds
Bleeding incessant wounds
He heard the enemy's murmurs
He doubted the rock

Together they travelled
After many miles
The enemy was stronger
The rock opened its door
Let him enter it's wounds
It was a single slow childbirth
So hurting the rock bled

The enemy was coming
He was inside the rock's wounds
He looked around and whispered:
Rock it has been many miles
They were traveling together holding hearts
