Contemplation

Contemplating all this life
Within this cold and restless night
Brings clarity in all that’s seen
To all that’s gone, and all that’s been –

Take this burden that is born
Make all this conflict – all this scorn
Go by the wayside of the path
Where resolution lies at last –

Oh dearest lord of sea and sky
Make winged flight to those who cry –
And bring this heart peace love and hope
To find the strength above to cope -
