Gift from the enlightened

I looked into his green eyes and I saw
His enlightened glow

He is one of the few - the Lady of Damascus Guardian
Her faithful solder
They take care of each other
Since the 11th century

He is 89, and he intimately knows life and death
and us, the coinsidental visitors of his little secluded church
His hands are sensitive, soft and loving

He blessed us and gave us a gift of a warm heart and a saying:
Birds of anger, hate, worries and negativity
will always fly above our heads - we can not do anything about that
but what we can prevent
is them nesting onto our heads
