Promise
Like snow covered peaks
of the mountains ranges
mine eyes are drawn upward
to gaze upon your pristine
visions
its perspective draws me
to look upon it intently
and gaze into its depths
Its attraction holds me in its grip
where all things are sweet
to the touch
Where it is no longer a dream
but a reality
My soul lays naked and open
where everything
that is pain is restrained
the spectacle of barbary
has been left well behind
To dance in the meadows
where the wildflowers of spring
are collected in its bouquets
for the picnics in its woodlands
You have dissolved all the hollow precipices
of a society bent on destruction
of all that is beautiful
and the facades that disguised it
Gone now are even the remnants of the lies
that have torn humanity apart
The promise of Love
the great equalizer has arrived
and all can wear its garments
We thought our exuberance of life
was gone
We played hide and seek
I sought you
I found you
I will never let you go
back to the damaged land
an unforgiving place of residences
a place deserted and full
of jackals and beasts of prey
Where promises are kept
and not broken
Like the home of your previous life
I am unable to look away
am engaged with its fulfillment
for the Words of Paradise
have reached my heart
Isaiah 35 , 55 , 65:17-25
II Peter 3:13
