My Last Prayer


Let me grow old in peace!
Bask in the rays of a setting sun
Lean back to rest, my day’s work done:
From afar I’ll watch worlds grow,
Listen to new melodies flow
Not strive to reach elusive ends
Nor yearn for more; with nature blend.
A lone star I’ll shine in firmament
No one to lead; none to tend.

 Lear’s madness laid to rest,
Rising no more Sphinx-like from ash 
Sit and dream of another world.
Where paths run straight, where winds don’t hurl,
And brooks never lose their gurgle;
There I’ll lay down life’s loss
Triumph o’er crushing forces.
