Redemption

She imagined he'd fine the walk unbearable- Along the pavement In the blistering heat Cursing the humidity, and the absence of/ any reassuring breeze Breaking for this place, Once remembered by Its playful streams Aligned with jasmine- And overgrown daffodils Trying to comprehend, His questions remained- Unanswered He hates it here The bright stillness- Without words The forward/ without motion Witnessing the only thing He ever loved- Suspended in this desert And yet... how beautiful It seemed To someone raised In a landscape Never short of rain Lifting his arms To her empty sky He prays for water
