Prayer for Peace

de Doyle, Liliana S.

Included in “Concurso Unidos por la Paz”,
La Lupa Cultural, 2017 ( International Edition).

Fly, white dove of transparent wings
and take your message of Peace to all the world.
This ever present wish nests in the depth
of the men’s hearts. It nests in our minds.

Over the skin of time, you, carry the hope.
Man has always been a wolf to another man.
Since Cain and Abel, nameless cruelties
have reigned over the Earth, sowing slaughter.

Two wolves fight in our own body:
a wolf made of light and another, of hatred.
The horror of tremendous war haunts us
with the wake of death that leaves in everything.

Fly, white dove of transparent wings.
Let your invisible flight lighten the morrows.
