The Shadow Was the Sun's Hope

Gölgeydi Günes' Umut

The world was the shadow of man
Surrounded by
hope

On earth
with his name It was
a tree of emotion Scale-free
on every continent Of
a mysterious beauty It was
a breathing space On the skin of the
earth A person
whose shadow grows
It became smaller as it grew, untimely
Compassion
at the core of humanity Wounding as you
explore the world
Countless
in every corner Sapling of
love and hope As long as it doesn't grow up, in
your heart Nature
melts your house Helpless
with his heart that has become concrete Lives
within four walls

A beauty
in every color Of course, it is in its
essence Like
universal art As long as you love the world
without prejudice, There is healing in every home
As long as you touch your heart, you can
