Peace In Bozrah
by Moses Hochstetler (Age: 60)
copyright 07-04-2003


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
A Metaphor (not about suicide!)


Frightened, I alone did wander
Beaches fathomless and vast;
Through millenniums uncensored,
Through the eons of the past.

To the present moment's pounding
Of the surf upon the reef;
Pounding with surrealistic
Indignation filled with grief.

Tortured to the depths of madness,
Tethered with a mortal chain;
Dashed in pieces, wounded, bleeding,
On the shoals of kindred bane.

There persuasive whitecaps whispered
Words that I had heard before:
"You shall find your peace in Bozrah,"
Hence I heard those words no more.

For the endless sea dispersing
Every tear within its brine;
Beckoned me, intoxicating
Me with waves of brandywine.

And it drowned my pain and sorrow,
And it swallowed fear and qualm;
And I found my peace in Bozrah
In a timeless sea of calm.

Moses: this is a superb and haunting poem about the location of the coming of the Messiah, according to the ancient Hebrew Scriptures. Perhaps the ultimate Judeo-Christian link will be fulfilled and when the Messiah comes, even a second coming, there will be peace for a thousand years. Excellent job.
