Plea

by Samuel De Lemos

We sail into our days
Like a lit beam.

While your presence,
Washes away the fear
Of things unseen.

I take comfort in your words
I hear exquisitely expressed.

I say to myself, someone
Else cares about the life
We affectionally share.

I hear you brother,
I’m listening to you sister—
What you say, is meaningful to Me.

Help me to understand the
Place I find myself in.

Articulated, in a way that my
Soul can fully understand.

Assist me to
Perceive, the irony and the
Brilliancy of love— in my
Not so tranquil world.
