kind soul

where are we driven
by the forces of fate,
where are we driven
by the waves of hate.

the flame rekindled,
has now disappeared.
smothered by unkindness
from those we hold dear

back to our essence
from which we all come
free of the sadness,
the misery,
the pain.

an old flame snuffed out
a new one now burning,
bright with the promise
of a new sea to sail.

sail on kind soul
to far better shores
tacking to new winds,
we wish you the best.
