A spring of health and peace

A Spring of Health and Peace
The last of our water posts for now is a poem that came from our invitation to readers (that invitation still stands if anyone wants to add to the mix!)
Eleni said this about herself:
I've always written, for as long as I can remember. Only in recent years did I begin sharing my poetry and I've just started as a performance poet too, performing at various venues around Nottingham, at Light night, for example.

A Wellness Spring of Health and Peace
Eleni Georgeou
A wellness spring of hope and peace
We all want this lockdown to cease
For covid-19 to destroy lives no more
How many deaths
We keep taking score
Divided we fall
United we stand
Alone or petrified
To reach out a hand
But let's not be paralysed by fear
Look up and search inwards
Let Jesus near
Touch us with his Mercy
Guide us with his Love
Bring comfort
Turn to our Father above
We can't keep disrespecting the planet as we do
Greedily taking from Mother Nature
Resources we ravage through
May blessed abundant oceans
Wash away our pain
Clear up our illusions
Anger, pointing blame
Reach the rivers for positivity to flow
Come through a brook as
To the Lord we sing
For rebirth, joy and harmony
Of Health a waterspring

Thanks and credits
