Prayer


When the earth is still to me
and soul and body have parted.
All the joys and gaiety
of this world now unheard.

Gentle breezes pass me by.
laughter and life slip silently away
from my deafened ears.

Let me find a place in eternity.
A quiet place
where brooks babble
and the trees whisper
in soft fragrant winds.

Let me find
in my tranquil forever.
Memories of us together
of what was once you and me.

If such dreams are allowed
let me dream of you.
by my side souls glowing
in beautiful pure light
for all eternity.
