guérissez bientôt (Get Well Soon)

For Shilpa, the amazing star that she is, the guiding light of Dreamscape and my best friend. She is down with a bad sprain. :( She's so dauntless and high spirited, she constantly writes, even when she's so under the weather. Bravo girl! Get well soon. 

I know how it feels when,

The devil resides in the bones.

Feeding on your blood,

Slaying every ounce of life.

Excruciating it feels,

Lifeless and numb.

At war with him,

Oh! That satanic strife.

For we’re mere mortals,

We all give in to him.

It’s ignominious for us,

The children of the light.

Wrecking our nerves,

Fighting for the right, we’ll

Gather our spirits, with

Some help from the might.

We’ll rise, we’ll strike, with

Weapons of love, of care,

And we’ll just hang in there tight,

For soon we’ll be at peace,

And we’ll be alright.
