Island of Peace

Celena Costello
I long for an enchanted island,
An island of peace.
A place without cares and sorrows,
A place to hear birds chirping in the morning.

I long to be a tranquil island,
An island of peace.
My smile a refuge, my arms a haven
For all my loved ones.

Will I ever be such a treasure island,
An island of peace?
Devoid of anger, of hurt and sorrow,
A sweet spirit?

I  battle for this dreamaway island,
An island of peace,
And the harder I battle, the farther it seems,
Yet there is no choice
But to travel on
Down the road of peace.
