I Miss

In the midst of fiery crises
I miss cool, shady oases
O, Fountain, spring forth your fresh water
revive my land to evergreen

O, Abdim's storks, will you perch my neem?
O, white-feather, flaunting egrets
harbingers of rain,
and night croaking toads,
I've missed your glad tidings again

In the midst of hot desert dunes
I miss monsoons
and rows of sorghum
demarcated by a sorrel hedge

I miss evening drizzles
and their running clouds
nightly torrents 
and showers between sunshines

Will Ever

None will have to worry some fine day tomorrow
None has to be sorry, joy will outshine sorrow

Will this time ever come, when the whole world is calm 
The lion and the lamb share shades and friends become

Yes, I say every soul will achieve her own goal
without having a fear but fulfilment and cheer

Will someone ever think the truth has said my ink
The sun will rise and shine while every one is fine
