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 a hot Mediterranean sun
To toy with the winds and the tides
Ashes scattered under the
Paternal nurturing sun

Home and peaceful at last
