Termaits

May He, who can clear all memories
give my heart a moment’s respite
from all the pain
that has held me
shackled to the past.
May He grant my mind
a moment’s rest
to contemplate life’s beauty, and not delve on its misery.
And may He provide
my eyes
with new sight,
that I may be cured of the blindness that insists on what is not real,

That I might finally see
the reality
that would set me free..
