Today I will be
an apple bringer,
a sower of Job’s tears,
a healer of grief.
Today I will be
the tarty sweet fruit
passed hand to hand
in the peace caravan.
Today I will be
the cooing melody
among a flight of doves.
Today I will be
the candle of the night
that shines the best
of my country.
Today I will be
the wind that spreads
the camphoric cries
that can not be blown out.
Tomorrow the world
will grant justice
for the obstinate tears shed.
Tomorrow God will
dance and sit amongst us
in the wake of his beautiful moon.
Tomorrow the residue of his love
will turn the screams into almonds
that we will eat with him.
Tomorrow we will witness
the miracle of all fallen songs
blossoming into tulips.
