Poem: To En-gedi | Br. Jeffry Kochikuzhyil

Travel to En-gedi,
Near the City of Salt.
The shore of the Dead Sea
Bringing life to a halt.

Surrounded by wilderness,
Stronghold for a king.
A refuge in David’s quest
From gifts enemies bring.

Fortress for life,
Abounds in strife.
Brushing with death,
From every threat.
Soldier and animal:
Indistinguishable.

Unlikely pillar,
A vineyard dares exist here.
Henna blossoms for
The Philosopher’s lover.

Take me there
Where sweet henna grows.
Grow old where
Life blooms like a rose
