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 COPYRIGHT © 2011 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
