curved promises
     uncompromisingly
          ordained by His
               Supreme Divinity

                    mountains that slope
                         accommodating trees
                              full of the hope
                                   that blooms on bended knees

                                        rivers that run
                                             unceasingly to find
                                             the ocean's pun
                                        whose motions heal the blind

                                   birds on whose rhyme
                              low spirits soar aloft
                         tethered to time
                    where ancient anthems soft

               with instruments
          of plectrum and of bow
     leave increments
that through the heavens flow

slant rains no more
     shall swallow up the land
          aft and before
               His promises shall stand

                    curved promises
                         uncompromisingly
                              ordained by His
                                   Supreme Divinity.
