I open my eyes to a future
Where walls will fall
Where hearts will open
To a peaceful co existence
I open my ears
To hear
The waves of joy
I open my arms to receive the message
I open my mouth
To sing a song
Of love and peace
I smell the possibility
These young woman
Are creating this energetic foundation
For us all as
They bravely fly into the unknown
In order to meet the enemy
Face to face
Eye to eye and
eventually heart to heart
here they are given a safe space
and tools of compassion
as they share
their deepest pain, anger and fear
Some come hard as acorns
Having to protect
The inner core
That has been through so much
In so few years
Anger and accusations
Turn into tears
As they discover
Truths
they would have preferred never to know
which brings a deep understanding
that we are all suffering
all victims
of this ancient feud
between the children of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar
Tears fall like rain
softening the land
Over which our ancestors have fought
In order to uproot
The generational hatred
The seeds
That have been buried six feet under
Start to sprout new possibilities
As they face each other
Meet each other eye to eye
As they touch each other
Heart to heart
First in anger and fear
Then in consolation
Which soon turns into hugs of love
They are creating a new path,
just like the labyrinth they have created
Opening the doors
Of their soft inner core
Which is sprouting
soft green leaves
as they sing, dance and rejoice
the possibility of a peaceful co existence
knowing from the deepest place in their beings
that it is possible
for them to become
the strong tree of life
where all sides can live peacefully
rooted in the land
side by side.
Face to face
Eye to eye
Heart to heart.
You are my hope!
