Trade To Memory
Soon doubts will trade to certainty
and fear will snub command.
Soon the stormy oceans will turn to sights of land.
Soon clefts will trade to unity
and breach will pitch support.
Soon the random limits will turn to stints of sport.
Soon fights will trade to harmony
and strife will lose appeal.
Soon the army wagons will turn to shards of steel.
Soon woes will trade to jollity
and angst will drop alarm.
Soon the vicious cycles will turn to sets of charm.
Soon tears will trade to memory
and stain will pale away.
Soon the gaudy colors will turn to shades of gray.
