Hope

Timeless memory

For every dead leaf

I give a bloom

For every departure

I blossom

For every twig

I have a sprout

For every desert

I have a garden

Every hole

I fill with grace

Every pain, every tear

I turn them into

Water

And heal

Every night

A fire star

Every pause

A chant

Laments, solitude

A burst of laughter

A banquet

A baptism

Every death

Is the scream

of a multiple

birth

Fertile soil

for the dust

of your departure

While you bury

your corps

in sand

I’m a torrent

of new flowers

fragrant mud

and a renovated

soul

While you are forgotten

I germinate in

A thousand memories

That haven’t been

Born yet

Your music stops

And my life begins

The last caress of

My time

Made your grave to fade

In replacement

The first stone of

A future

Without you.
