The unsaid pain of Nebudu.

Tons and tons of eyes took the river fall view as they saw you,
Limping, yet standing strong like a mighty untamable tree,
I felt chills run down my spine at the scars that surrounded you,
But I know it is never to be compared with the heat in your heart.

"Nebudu, I hear you." I wanted to say a way to comfort you,
But I ended up as a fool with a mouth open and no words out,
Even my voice betrayed me, leaving all the speech to my heart,
And deeply, I hoped you could hear what my heart says.

But I know I wasn't the only being that cared for you
Still, I hope my words will heal you,
How painful oh dearest Nebudu,
The heat from your soul is volcanic in nature
That I wonder how you could still stand despite its eruption.

Your eyes say one word, "bravery," to never give up because we were never alone,
But those who see beyond the outer layers of your eyes can tell,
That the words that lie within are tons of torn sharp edge,
Telling the stories your mouth and heart can't speak of
Because the pain that surrounds them is unheard of.

Nebudu, oh, Nebudu, the son of all creatures,
The stench of blood on you and the sorrow behind each burn on your skin,
I can smell them, and they smell of leadership and conqueror,
Each scar tells stories of the war you fought for us,
And because of you, I can calmly wander around the earth and beyond
With no fear in my heart because I know I am safe from harm with your word.

Thank you, great Nebudu,
For giving me the peace that I have craved throughout many generations,
Thank you, Nebudu, for fighting when all hope was lost,
Thank you, great Nebudu,
For creating a world for me and my young ones
This is the sort of world that is worth living because it is filled with healing particles,
Particles that tell your story, the story of a great god.

Thanks for reading and listening.

Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
