This is the misty dawn of promises
As waves of time move on the waters
The grieving mother without solaces
Soon rejoices with her daughters

Broken wing for love to restore
For the bird learning to fly again
From stormy waters brought ashore
With garden's healing rest to regain

Image comes alive at the word of its maker
As trumpets play their triumphful sound
Hope bows to fulfilment as its greater
Its eyes and words no longer cagebound

Tribes and nations in perfect twelves
Witness all things being made anew
Yet more like their truest selves
Than their hopeful souls ever knew

Sometimes it's hard to pin down just one definite meaning to the words of a poem. I would say that this is mostly about the hope of the future that God has promised to us. But it can help to motivate us and keep us living throug difficult times even here and now.

The grieving mother without solaces
Soon rejoices with her daughters

These two lines of the poem imply the hope of our resurrection. The mother is grieving (because her daughters have died) but soon she will rejoice with their daughters again.

Is it about learning to love again after pains or is it about God being our shepherd after we accepting him in our lives

Learning to love again after pains is part of what I mean. (And also about learning to be loved, and being healed by the love, I think.) It's about a general theme of healing and restoration. That will happen fully when everything is made new, but in many ways it can be already part of our current life here as Christians.

Unless you told us the meaning: hard for anyone else at first to understand, but deep!

Yeah, I thought some of this may be hard to decipher. The central thought is about the future that God has secured for us. It's one of healing, restoration, renewal of proper relationship between God and his people, resurrection, and the victory of life.
