Jerusalem Streets
The silence
The shouts
Jerusalem Streets
Voices from the past
Messages of history
Upon the crowded
Jerusalem Streets
We search today
For meaning and purpose
Our minds ear listens
Intently for
The silence
The shouts
Of messages
Left now beneath
These holy streets
Jerusalem
Our heritage
Our legacy
So great

Jerusalem Streets
Where history saw
blood and tears
and the clash of
civilizations
and ideologies
Jerusalem streets
may one day
the children play
on freedom streets
Pauline -- lovely. And sad.
I was just thinking the other day that no matter where our hertiage is, so much of it is filled with war. I can't think of anyone who has escaped it.
ghost particle, thank you for visiting. Thank you for the words and the blessing for freedom streets! beautiful...
Quilldancer, I was merely reflecting on the history of our roots, we do often forget our beginnings. I never enjoyed history in school now I can see the folly of my decision in youth.
