I Want To Go

I want to go to Haifa
by the sea
to visit the burial place of the Bab1,
to see the Queen of Carmel
as she looks across the planet
inviting humanity
into the safety of the Arc2
on Carmel's crest.

From Mount Carmel
I want to go to Baji3
to visit the burial place
of my Lord,
and whisper a prayer
at His shrine.
