Where are you...



Never again
To watch the night become a new day
Nor silence that fits this summer-time
Nor with you here to love and lay
What is left seems just a 'mime'.

Never again
To feel your embrace
Nor to slender through goofy streets
Nor to share our caring space
Does it help to read some pray's?

For again
History just reminded nest of kin
Those who seek eternal power
Have choosen to reign is doubtful sin
Hear the bombs; our iron shower!

For again
I hide to stay amongst hope
And meet all ages and faces of fear
I wonder how mankind can cope
Is there no feel; just to shed a tear?

Where are you?
Do you wander around in misty smoke
And did you survive without me knowing
Did your senses ajdust and cope
To the bodies that keep on showing?

Hope it is
That it wasn't you I found up-here
In curling lines op smoke that fly
May echoes of my voice once cheer
When we meet in a new blue sky!

Of peace......
