2

If in lieu,
 of retribution,
 for the events past
 and the events future,
 you receive,
 a moment of peace;
 would it suffice?
 If the earth crumbles,
 out of thirst,
 felt by the seeds,
 buried in its bosom;
 quenched one day,
 or maybe never.
 And the soil,
 could find its fragrance,
 though soaked in blood,
 salty with sorrow,
 but still alive,
 by asking for a portion,
 of the moment,
 you perhaps prize;
 will you?
 Regardless of your choices,
 if offered salvation;
 can the act of choosing it,
 over rightful demise,
 get you any closer,
 to the light?
 Tell me.
 What is the source,
 of your plight?
