PRISONER OF TIME 2 © 2008

A firm embrace was missing,

That supports without faltering,

A gaze that confirms everything,

That there is always a port, a place.

The secure voice was missing,

To guide along the right path,

The presence that heals everything,

Even when the world is a desert.

The decisive gesture was missing,

That wards off fear and pain,

A father who, even in conflict,

Sows love within us.

The outstretched hand was missing,

To lift us in the darkness,

A direction that provides shelter,

In the labyrinths of the heart.
