The wind carries the echoes of creation throughout the land,

A detoxification of earth has begun with another war at hand,

I breathe deep to absorb the essence of Mother Earth inside,

How many times I wonder has our Karma Master tearfully cried,

I’ve crawled the green of earth with weapon in hand too often,

Experienced first hand how our world can suddenly soften,

No matter where I’ve been I’ve thought of you through the day,

Wondering how you were and what you were doing along the way,

Heard birds sing songs so beautiful that intense emotion was felt,

Songs so melodic that words formed causing hard hearts to melt,

Again I thought of you, each beautiful moment I experience is of you,

Of you I am, of you my heart beats, for you forever my heart beats true,

The intensity of my hardships have been felt deep for so very long,

Without you I am of the weak, meek and weak through, I don’t belong,

Cry for me I pray, I need but a word, a whisper of air will bring relief,

Oh but for word, any word from home would bring with it new belief,

It seems as if the anchor of an enormous ship has been cast overboard,

Attached at my waist with links of hard steel pulling me from shipboard,

As I sink into the deep abyss I search for light, a light of encouragement,

Sea creatures scurry about yet the sea scurry adds to my bewilderment,

Is this abyss a reality or a realm dimension known of as sleep or escape,

Can escape halt reality, is it possible to escape wars wrath in good shape,

Impossible would be suitable for such question of misguided innocence,

How of you I seek and pray, through you I escape hell’s painful vengeance,

Let my eyes find sleep as your beautiful innocence enters slumberland,

To be sought as no other spirit of sleep’s dimension just to hold your hand,

So simple is my request yet so impossible a task from where I am today,

Such need of heart is never simple for a broken heart is but a minute away.
