RAINDROPS - HOPE - STEAMDROPS

 

All times we hope to sleep in our hands.

Alas! This hope - sometimes - become so free

like drops of rain that falls between sare sands

and quenches into steam we never see.

I see echoes of pain on many tongues.

The echoes run reversed; more time - more pitch.

The parents, children, humming quasi-songs

of this one dirge: \"why make Earth\'s belly rich?!\"

But dawn will surely spark behind midnight

and thousand ills shall scamper to their death.

And the just king shall - on us - shine his light

to give a testament to all with breath

that: so long this just king resides up high,

these hopes, like steam-drops, will rise to the sky!
