My Beautiful friends

Pain absolved

crying eyes of joy gladden to nurture

the babe full of hope
and splendour engulfed in open arms

Assurance fulfilled of the beautiful world

Scents drag rushing boys down streets

Crowds of machines hurtle towards promises

Across fields and trodden paths

Knowledge engulfs open eyes from mountain summits to horizons

Waterfalls shower crowns below 

Bliss

holding hands wading through streams

Smoke wafting carrying giggles

And dark nights loom as fields thirst

Desert hope dries out wells guarded by greedy

Blind angels hover above tombs witnessing

Soaked in the torrential downpour of cruelty
