Tranquility leaves of silence <br />And rivers with voices young <br />Flowers of dust and violence <br />From which this life has sprung <br />Your silver threads obligingly <br />That come so close and near <br />Wings you should spread free <br />To give from your heart dear <br /> <br />I've seen you're poured out tears <br />From every suffering and pain <br />Many months of summer years <br />These shadows have reigned <br />Now it's time to turn the page <br />Give a breeze - and understand <br />Each rusting chaining shall age <br />Until you're free to command <br /> <br />To let new skies become blue <br />Inclined in peacefully harmony <br />Bring some sunshine through <br />That captivates each true beauty <br />Carries life that ought to abide <br />On branches of fanned dreams <br />Under skies of fairness sighed <br />Where true compassions streams<br /><br />Peter S.
