Plea For Peace
Forgotten paths
Untrod valleys
Lonely nights
Quivering hearts
The lonely journey of life
Befriending the pain
Confronted with a brutal truth
The cold heartless stony truth
Pleading with the angel of death
To spare him the agony
To let his soul gently sleep
In the arms of the maternal sea
Under the hot Mediterranean sun
To toy with the winds and the tides
Ashes scattered under the
Paternal nurturing sun
Home and peaceful at last
