I Heard Him Say





salvation is not for
the ordinary of men
but for the ones
who act on it
everyday

sadness is those
who never knew
it was a word at all


some of us look
for a soft place to fall

    nice!..this is the best rendition for this quote..nice job!..subtle..short and kinda abstract..but really thoughtful and well written out..very thoughtful..and i think while this poem can def. fit in a lot of quote..i love the contrast of the title..i heard him say..vs the quote..the silence of friends...nice piece
