the explosions,though deafening bring light
bright and high above your crowded lanes
your busy streets, pungent with grief and garlic
your people warm, wondering, humiliated, proud
many hate you but you have stolen my pumping blood filled heart
i seek to escape your embrace but cherish being
welcomed into your life, your heart of stone
if i look down i see your filthy broken body
but seeing into the skies, there is growth, greenness
your eyes are pools of deep brown beauty aching
the markets and people full of color
dancing, parading color in life and death
i long for your beauty to be revealed
hearts to be broken for your losses
dreams to be realized, prayers answered
beloved friends, sisters, daughters of your darkness
finding freedom, life hope, making you better than you are
i see you my beloved.
i see you.
