Separation
Elizabeth Ila Doss-Bishop 1952 (Brisbane)
Separation
Can anyone turn my brain to calm?
There seems to be a red light flashing, that says beware there’s danger and despair.
Can anyone tell me calm is coming?
That peace will come with a lull, and numbing.
Time you see that’s what I’m told, that tells the story as it unfolds.
It’s the only thing that can bring me peace, and help these thoughts to finally cease.
Yes there’s a new chapter, another bend and around that corner,I’ll find my true friend.
Thoughts for Eternity
