some were born in silence others in screams I did not know how to name them all Each one cried a fragment of tears a mark left behind I would not forget that I survived myself the number stands before me Not as a goal yet to meet but as a closing of a circle a dot in the middle a creative symbol "Look Within 'The Immortal Wize never a man never a mask a thousand cords a body of soul when the four thousandth is done It will rest on a desk forged in silver carved in memory etched in stone
