The air is awash with ghosts
as another year turns dead
beyond the darkness of the world
time to lay it all to rest
let light call, beyond the fear and dread
poetry and song, dreams that give peace of mind
as time rumbles on with uncertainty
the treasure of friendship will forever be kind
in our gardens flowers will flourish
memories not forsaken, delivering strength
beyond the politicians emptiness, that break us down
lets your ears and heart be immersed with music
that kisses the soul, and enlivens the tonque
remembering smiles that lifted us, be guided by love
we will continue to rise up, patch up the hurt
our words still ever so clear, solid under every morn
a beautiful resistance that keeps on calling
the taste of truth will fill our bellies
as we ponder which paths to pursue
travelling on the haunted waves
let the wealth of our combined afflictions
soak up like a sponge, the living waters
generating channels that nurture sustenance
with earnest mischief in this game of chance
dancing undeterred with fervent belief.

Heddwch/Peace.)
