They see the Golden Dome

where the Prophet ascended.
I see the depths of the human will
to believe.
They bow in prayerful rhythm
before the last remains of the
Temple.
I see a building ruined by
Vespasian's thugs.
They come seeking the place
where He pointed to the
Mount of Olives;
I look for his shadow
but see only tourists.
