Salvation
 Jun 2010 Ams
Paul Jackson
The light has come for me
My lungs fill with Your breath
I dream in colour again
How can this be?
My Turkish prison crumbles

I do not recognize the sun
But it remembers me
I follow Your voice
the binding chains turn to dust
The light has finally come

You take my hand so hard
Your smile dries my tears
My sadness breaks like water on Your rocks
You wash it all away
I am bathed in light

I see Your face
Just as I dreamt it would be
I smell salvation on Your skin
I taste hope on Your lips
I am home, and free at last

I
duck into tree light
while this red earth field,
seven years ripe,
germinates small answers
to questions hard planted.

You,
Shroud in silence,
drink the silver night air
while the elusive slips
silently by.

We
stand sky-high
weaving through
grain threshed
wind swept fields.

Suddenly,
awakened by the capacious star's
rising yellow ardor,
verdant implants of dewy life
lift skyward and scatter untrodden roots.

— The End —
