Bitter Winds

Bitter winds are blowing

Through the empty hearts

Carrying the sad song

A thousand mothers weeping

Cold and chaotic it sweeps in

History repeating

Seen it all before

Call of desperation

Beyond borders, beyond nations

Grief is the only drink at hand

May a window open

And the light flood in

Mend it into wholeness

All that has been broken

Justice and mercy hear us calling

Ease the pain and suffering

Soothe the tired souls

Softening the edges

Heal what's been tormented

May love bring an end to it all
