SHORES OF JERICHO:

Waves come and waves go
Upon the shores of Jericho
My walls, my home, my life all gone
What once seemed right now wrong

Tiny birds come to me
They touch my heart, make me see
Life is but a cyclic force
Binding us to stay its course

Whosoever learns my name
Hears my heart, feels the same
Given once it calls no more
Beating waves upon its shore

For I am not indestructible
Iron to iron defensible
The grating of a painful mind
Causes blindness of a different kind

I stand alone upon this shore
The waves stiller than before
Never-ending time returns
To whisper, forever, sacred yearns.

No reason indeed, this was a masterful piece of work, I’m just glad Nikolette Sadness saved it from the depths.

Absolutely beautiful, very emotional, and wonderful poem.
