Flowers

In desperation?

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

As if the earth had grown from its abundance

And the earth was green and the water was pouring

And the flower gardens sang, which were filled

With jasmine that overwhelms the trees

With roses, the flowers welcomed them, saying:

Does the flower of the blooming garden have news?

The roses said to her, I am still watching her

If the news appears, the rain will not be hidden

This is a cloud that came to tell us

About what we ask until the moon appears

The cloud refused and did not tell and remained on

Deafness, so what exhausted it did not explode

When people saw it, harm struck it

Does it speak, while harm has destroyed people?

As if it were an idol humiliated by deafness

Despair crept in until dawn came

What is wrong with the clouds that they hope to speak

Why did they not address a word to those waiting in despair?

So he answered, and the water flowed, and said:

I was silent, no idle talk or chatter inside me.

I breathe life and put the soul in a body that was

Almost extinct since ancient times.
