A Prayer for Peace

🌿 A Prayer for Peace

May the fallen rest in light,
May their souls find calm tonight.

May the wounded heal with care,
May their hearts be free from despair.

May the weary find their song,
May the weak be lifted strong.

May the war-cry voices cease,
May the world awaken peace.

May compassion guide the way,
May love be the word we say.

May the wars quickly end
May humanity live and stand.

Teardrops of moon

Silently weeps the moon
Over the shoulders of the hills
And the drops of tears
Spread in the air
Embracing everything they touch,
The fog makes visibility poor
And the heart sinks
Thinking of the coldness,
Of the long winter nights,
And the coldness of governments
Towards the tsunami of poor -
Hungry human children,
The jobless marooned youth, and
The senior elderly people, who
Roam in the night
And sleep without bed on street,
Bearing the burnt of poverty,
And carelessness of the civic society.

The winter has set-in -
In the moral values,
In the thinking of the well-to-do,
In the heart of society, but
When the sun will shine again tommorow,
The teardrop of the moon
Will glisten in the light
On the garden and wayside grass,
Telling the humanity to remember
The cold freezing night.
