Hope

To wait for a brighter day of sun
when there has been a moonless night.
To wait for the rainbow to colour
the land drowned by endless rain.

To gather the withered flowers
noticing the beauty still left .
To wish at the sinking coin
for love, wealth and happiness.

To let that butterfly fly away,
hoping for it to return someday.
To fly a kite holding its thread firmly
in the vast sky full of uncertainty.

To climb a many mountains
in search of greener pastures.
To sow the seeds of hope
waiting for them to grow.

To walk a million miles
in search of a civilisation
hoping to be saved from
the wrath of a merciless terrain.

To search for a water pond
in the scorching desert heat.
To search for a cooling shade
in rows of naked trees.

To wait for someone to be able
to acknowledge the good in you.
To cherish the life as given,
wishing for your dreams to come true...
