The last waves of Summer

 

Despite the darkest of times

Austerity still  manifesting,

More inequality and poverty 

Roads of fear, roads of death,

Every morning I am convinced

That in spite of everything,

There is still something 

Beautiful to live for,

The melody of heartbeats

The rhythm of time,

Dreams coming alive 

Floating out, soaring high,

Days brimming with peace 

New horizons flourishing,

Soul mates beaming smiles 

To take your breath away,

We  follow one another

To somewhere filled with justice,

As summer recedes and fades

Waves of insight releasing,

Truth still shining brightly 

Upon oceans of clarity,

Endless beginnings igniting

To dissipate paths of destruction,

Among the ebb and flow of tide

Waves of harmony refreshing,

With strength within restored

Breath by breath, keep sharing,

Not disregarding exploding bombs

Other voices trapped with sorrow,

Those betrayed, pain so deep

Trying to cope, soldiering on,

From the safety of our shores

Try keep caring for those forgotten,

Whose homes lie now in ruins

Gardens of sanctuary destroyed,

Let's  deliver to them some light 

Allow strained mortals to find respite.
