Frigid waters enveloped her

Lips, like ice, turned blue

Sinking deeper, drowning

Her final breath, she drew

Eyes slightly open, watching

As she descended, rapidly

Ending all she ever knew

Dissolving slowly, in the sea

She took her life, tempestuous

Like a turbulent hurricane

A tortured soul, free at last

She would never again feel pain

One last song, I begged of him

As he looked upon me, face so grim

The time has come, I can no longer play

Blackened notes, on sheets of gray

The lines now blurred upon the page

I take my leave of this earthly stage

Though my hands shall leave these ivory keys

My melody continues, in sweet rhapsody

Platinum rockets outshine the night

Setting on fire, this battle of wills

Radioactive, they tarnish the skies

Feeling nothing, only out for the kill

Men, women, children, die horrible deaths

Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected

War torn and ravished, faraway lands

Unable to fight back, quite unprotected

Peace needs a place, to call its home

An Earthly portal, to welcome all

Three nations together, cannot do it alone

For when evil wins, the mighty will fall

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain.  May God watch over them…

Waves churned and water crashed

A rowboat, on the ocean, thrashed

Skies were calmer, to the east

But to the west, there hailed a beast

Clouds of black had filled the sky

No chance for those aboard to try

To make it to land, safely ashore

Seems the boat, could take no more

Winds attacked, from every angle

In the storm, the timbers mangled

Caught, upon the choppy seas

The ocean tossed it, as it pleased

All that remained, was a beacon of light

That shined, ever brightly, into the night

Spirits, old and young, kept here

Etched in stone, their time and year

Many moons have passed them by

And still so many stop, and cry

Lives once lived, so full and bright

Lie sleeping, under snows of white

Frozen, in this hallowed space

Tis here, their final resting place
