Blood tears

The moment I closed my eyes

I remembered Mary’s tears

With an empty stomach

Rustic hands

To knead the earth.

Nevertheless, Mary’s eyes

Full of disguise

Blinking through the sky

Looking for signs of hope.

A poem she could not read

Words are silent

Slightly, she is ready to obey commands

Dark clouds are the scene

Of a land we no longer possess.

As flowers flourish

Mary gently touches Chrysanthemum

The harvest time has come

Although lost in the shadow

Questioning wasn’t on the cards.

Feet approaching, filled with mud

Waving to return to errands

A lapse of time has passed

Freedom has no taste

She shall return, singing in tears

Because liberty is a fortune.
