I Walk Through Shadow Ruins
But see them whole–
Suffering spirits and wandering souls.
I touched an ancient stone that spoke to me,
And showed me what the ruins used to be.
Each step up to Angkor Wat,
A soldier died in a battle fought.
None were aware that they were dead,
So I asked –
“Would you like to go somewhere better instead?”
Some whispered, "Yes."
Some yelled, "No!"
Some stayed quiet
While I guided others to go–
To a better place.
