Prayer for peace

Darling, let us rest for just a while

By the shadow of our broken hearts,

By the iceberg of the frozen smile,

By the cradle of the yet to be spoken

Of the yet to be broken,

Let us offer our token

Of peace.

Darling, let us sleep for just a while

By the river of sorrow,

By the edge of tomorrow,

By the border of hate

Where sentinels await,

Let us open the gate

To peace.

Darling, let us wake for just a while

By our bed of shattered connection,

By the mirror of unbiased reflection,

By the end of the rope

Where wild geese elope,

Oh, darling, let us hope

For peace.
