And Then

Uncommon shooting stars

Interrupting the nightly gaze

As a welcoming cherished surprise

Rolling thundering clouds

Bringing the scent of coming rains

Opportunity to break free of the bondage

Harbor no more the impossible dream

Sail away with the unbelievable

Under a snowflake’s dreamscape

Such ardor in between passing moons

Sometimes the road from Mecca

Is a triennial in disguise

Ride with no fear into uncharted territory

Conquering each historical despair of yesterday

The poet’s sword has been removed from its sheath

Become the defenseless martyr

Concede to true virtues

Surrender with eternity’s defiance

Lift the cloak and abolish the blindfold

For when she is near

Like molten lava you melt
