We mark Martyr's Day today - for Mahatma Ghandi, and all who walked selflessly with others who needed them.
For strength that refused applause.
🕊️🌿
He stands
In the midst of -
Lifting wreaths
And muted bows
🕊️🌿
He walked
With us
In the same breath
On the same route
🕊️🌿
For life
Softened
Under watch
For the Soul
🕊️🌿
That saw.
That lauded not.
That stopped.
And evaded
The light.
🕊️🌿
