Keeping That Faith In Love

when the journey
seems unbearable

you are walking barefoot
on a noonday
desert

no oasis, no palm
no Bedouin in sight to save you

it is just the angry
sun and
you

just the here and
the infinite
over there

you keep faith
in love

you do not ask
why or when
will this suffering end

love has given you
more than enough

overflowing

now it shall take back
what you have
forgotten

what you have taken for
granted

there was once paradise
you were that monkey
sitting over a mountain of gold

your hands have
the power
the spices of life
the opulence of cares
and the
rain of affections
moonlights of
whispers
myriad pleasures and joys
smokes
of hopes to the air
and sky

now it is the desert
the test

keep that faith
at the end of the desert is
the sea

the mountains and rivers
and trees
are just behind you

move
