I Will Return

i will return... when the wars have ended. when the hungry have been fed, and no one is left homeless. when the tears of man, are but tears of joy. when every word spoken, be a bridge, a lantern, a hand! when the seeds i have planted are ready for harvest. and the smallest twig becomes the tree that gives shade. when the fire is restored from an old man's ashes. and time begins again with a man and a woman... when all that lives is spoken into existence... when you let down your hair, and open the door... i will return!
