To feel that peace again


I’ve lived for one hundred years
Rather two, three or four
I’ve lost count, lost all hope
And now I can’t go on anymore

I’ve traversed a hundred countries
Searching for our home on the tranquil shore
I’ve hit the end of the world, I’m feeling at sea
As I can’t go on anymore

I’ve spoken to a hundred people
My ears hunting for words we spoke before
haunting silence is all I get
No I can’t go on anymore

I have touched a hundred things
Retouched, to feel your warmth once more
I’ve burnt my fingers, the soul has melted
How can I go on anymore?

So I hold still and wait for it to find me
That joy, that peace and that splendorous glow
When we walked hand in hand
A hundred years ago

They say that the great poems make you feel like they have been written for you. Take a bow!
