Sleep comes near
in the world where
I find myself at this time.

I feel pain with emptiness
for those that have
suffered needlessly in the world this day.

All that most ask,
is to love and be loved.
Rather than die a needless death.

We are all humans
on this spinning globe.
Please give peace a chance.

my bag sits waiting

ready to leave for a place

that has beaconed me

in nightly dreams of sun,sand,

water, with peacefulness

that's beyond my wildest thoughts
