This poem. It's about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
I was walking outside
Heavy above, the frozen pavement below,
little pebbles scattered where
i walked
The Ramadan drums rambling in the distance
Suddenly The Birdsong exploded on
All sides- I looked up and
The crumbling air solidified
And was overwhelmed by music...
"I wonder if one star will shine
far brighter than the rest..?"
And a star began to shine, far brighter than the rest
a new lightvisible in the day- a
second and third sun- one
with His arms outstretched.
All around, concrete poured, dissolved, in the earth
fed to the
fed to the green grass all around...
Millions of women, billions of women,
I could see them all- all my sisters-
My sisters in the world, each.
holding solid silk scarves- each raised
to the new sun
And Laughing- my sisters each
took two hands to the silk
and tore.
Beautiful. Birdsong and concrete were both excellent word-image choices.
