All through his life he has been troubled,
Struggled with his temperament,
Flying into rages,
Hitting out at all and sundry.
The fault was within him,
He knew it was wrong,
But no help was found.
So into the depths of despair he sank,
Each day he fell further down,
Further down to the depths,
Until that day
When his soul left his body,
And all was cured.
I stood over his grave and prayed:
“May your death bring you the peace,
The peace that you never found in life”
“May your death bring you the peace you never found in life.”
A Vulcan Prayer said by Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager – Basics Part 2 1996.

Most kind Heartwriter, thank you.

"Make it so"
A fine write and crooning clip Gold! Ain't no peace with me. Aww, why don't I just not sing? It could bring peace to all. Well, silence anyway. lol
That song means so very much to me.
Both the poem and that charming number by Frank made an interesting read on the peace which eventually overtakes all - thanks for sharing both with us Goldi
Thank you for your kind comment Fay, yes peace will come to us all.
Old blue eyes and a well done poem. ww
Thank you ww, much appreciated.
Somebody wrote that our life in this existence is an education for what follows. Heaven knows.
Yes heaven does know. Thank you da.
It may be a vulcan prayer from TV but it is very moving. Great write!
It certainly spoke to me Christina, thank you.
Thanks ANDY ~ Seniors get annoyed with ME when I give my talk on DEAN MARTIN and say I prefer Dean to Frank Sinatra especially the mellowness of Deans voice and his perfect annunciation of the Italian Language in VOLARE etc ! I have the outline of a talk on Frank but have never delivered it ~ hope you are not too shocked and I appreciate that Frank was a mighty fine actor ! Loved the poem (and the Song !) and the VULCAN PRAYER ~ Yours BRIAN Can you please add a Flower Poem to my FUSION ~ Thanks B !
I like both Frank and Dean. As far as music is concerned you know as well as I do that we each have our favourites which is how it should be, it is the appreciation of those differences that makes music so interesting and wonderful.
Thanks, as always, for your comments Brian.
Andy,
Hi fellow Trekkie!
Star Trek...One of the greatest series!
Your poem is beautiful and so befitting for one of our MPS friend and most recently ANTHONY BOURDAIN and KATE SPADE!
May they Rest In Peace!
Thank you for sharing!
