You and then the flood

No friend, no relative

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

Fate has called you, my friend

Asking about your condition

Do you have a date to leave?

Or has escape become your goal?

When doubt obstructs your path

And you remain a stranger in your world

Without a friend or relative

Your soul may inhabit your self

If you honor it with what you have

You must travel far from you

To find your soul near you

If you search for your matter

Your certainty and doubt will intersect

Sail to the farthest place

To emerge with it as a bud in your life

If you are completely satisfied with your secret

You may acquire the quality of a human being when you are patient

As an artist you will not perish with your dreams

And as a scientist you will undoubtedly know the extent of your size

And if you are a worker you will tire despite yourself

You may be immortalized in the pages of your time

If you give your best

And if you befriend yourself

You will reach your ecstasy

You, my friend

Listen to your thoughts and ways

And do not stop loving you

No matter what, melt in your longing

And disavow your weakness

Let time write about you

No matter how much it breaks your mind

You, my My friend

You will remain alone forever

If you do not return to yourself

And you will not feel your condition

Until your soul leaves you forever

So do not despair if you do not live all your wishes

Because life takes the majority and not according to your desires

And you, my friend

If you sell your days

You will reap your share

And if you take your right from them

You will not waste your time

So take from them what concerns you

And leave what reproaches you
