Jerusalem Seeds
Christ age seeds in pottery jar
For tree whose summer sleeps
In dark winter of extinct leaves
Not seen since temples of Petra
Were carved into the rosy rock of ages
In the lonely crossroads of ancient empires
Where camel riders gazed in dusty silence
Upon windblown cliffs
Haunted by turbaned ghosts
On pilgrimage of tears
But these seeds held the dream of life
Waiting to be resurrected like Lazarus
From lost tomb of solitude
As the sundial shadow
Plodded like a robed Bedouin
Past the ruins of Masada
Two millennia after buried in clay vessel
Whose DNA sprouts when planted
Into wooden wrinkles of memory
In a miracle of faith
To move mountains of centuries
Haloed in chlorophyll light
Christ age seeds in pottery jar
For tree whose summer sleeps
In dark winter of extinct leaves
Not seen since temples of Petra
Were carved into the rosy rock of ages
In the lonely crossroads of ancient empires
Where camel riders gazed in dusty silence
Upon windblown cliffs
Haunted by turbaned ghosts
On pilgrimage of tears
But these seeds held the dream of life
Waiting to be resurrected like Lazarus
From lost tomb of solitude
As the sundial shadow
Plodded like a robed Bedouin
Past the ruins of Masada
Two millennia after buried in clay vessel
Whose DNA sprouts when planted
Into wooden wrinkles of memory
In a miracle of faith
To move mountains of centuries
Haloed in chlorophyll light
So glad to see you posting your incredible poetry/writing again. It's been truly missed. I love the message in your words and as always your incredible imagery and way of literally taking me into your worlds of words.
