Soon

Again, there will be water - Soon!
In sleep -  the deaf silence
reminded me - last night 
a leaf withered...
It reminded me of the vase
In which we were the three of us
Dreaming a dream with dew
Sipping from the month of May...
...and little by little my stem
withered in distress
and my painful leaves
found an excuse in Death...


Again, there will be water - Soon!
With little, gentle handfuls 
the Life's cup is filling
with crystals of desire
I dream a hopeful dream
regenerating roots
There is the water - plenty
and Oxygen enough...

Constance La France Date: 8/27/2010 6:30:00 AM Deep and powerful, wonderful that a child could write this, but, I also wrote as a child and sometimes I scared my parents with the power in my words, they used to say, how could a child have so much depth in her soul, I wonder did you parents understand your poetry?
