The Faithful

I was not the nameless wife of Lot
Who would not move with one last look

I was not Esther
Who saved her nation with chastity
Slipping away from the prophets
with one golden dream

With my heart exploded
I had freed myself
from centuries-old traps
and the exalted men
who only thought about the glory of their intact land
and its borders

I surrendered the love of the motherland
And all I took was the faith
in a place
where those who reject God and his prophets
are creators of all eternal beauty

I desired nothing else
