Breath of Life
Long were the nights of aloneness,
Long were the nights of sorrow and pain.
Nights having for companion only worrying thoughts,
Draining from me my energy… my dreams.
Too much energy of my body was gone from this distress,
Too many hours of my life are lost with undesired feelings.
Why such anguish if my life is full of happiness?
I wish that my wores never would come to me,
Bringing me rest from these endless moments of pain,
Giving me peace… while waiting for dawn.
At home. Pittsburgh, March 1999
