Hymn of the Heart
Feelings never perish;
they rest beneath the relentless river of time.
Yet the heart remembers the path to morning, crossing every boundary
with the first light of dawn.
Let darkness descend
into its own unfathomable depths.
I scatter the grey dust
that has gathered within me
to the open wind,
until peace becomes
the language of my breath.
Let the unwanted chapters of yesterday
fade into forgotten ravines.
Upon the white canvas of dawn,
may the soul unveil
its inexhaustible fire.
May I become a quiet flame,
guiding the lost
through the light within.
Let the deserts of the heart
yield fields of golden harvest.
May hope ripen like grain
for every face acquainted with hunger.
Let my fulfilment
never belong to me alone;
let it live in weary hands,
in the eyes of those
whose sweat keeps the earth alive.
Into eyes burdened with nightmares,
I place the horizon of tomorrow.
With luminous seeds of truth,
I sow the soil of a gentler future.
Awakened by the heart's own hymn,
I dedicate myself to the making of new dreams.
Let a new dawn descend upon the earth;
and within every weary breath,
may life begin again.
