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
