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... written at 13, translated now

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?

I share the same thoughts as you in having 50 entries contest. I have expressed my thoughts on this in my poem, Quo Wadis Poetry, a damsel in distress posted today.

Yes, Alyssa. At 13. I have my red little note book here with me. Wow, all the pages neglected and yellowed by time...Carolyn, there was a drought of the soul in an over-controlled society.
