invisible hand

helplessness.

do you know how the feeling is like when you are there, and you are not able to help? silently wishing that each tear lost is a moment of pain gone.

i saw. from the corner. the crystal drops flowing down your face,
i saw, from my little eyes, the redness in yours,
i felt, the frustration beating in your chest,

but i could do nothing. nothing that seem to sooth your pain.

a ear i can lent. a shoulder i can rent. a heart that i can bent.

nothing. it seems i can do. to reduce your pain.

but can i do something? yes, i think i can.

an invisible hand is what i can offer. one that will hold you close. hold you strong. giving you to courage to walk forward. towards the sunlight as i promised. on the beach. a set of footprints. a tired pair of arms from holding you. but one worth every single ounce of muscle.

yes i can lend you an invisible hand
