Listening diary: Hope

Today only the rain accompanies me…
there is no sun, no smiles, no stars…
the screams of children scampering through the parks are missing…
unconcerned about this uncertain crazy sunset…

This road is full of mist,
of drops of pain,
that one day will seep the indolence through…

Today, your joy no longer vibrates…
the one that filled me with comfort and bravery…
Today, I no longer feel your tenderness… your sweetness…
the one that heals any wound… any rancor…

I don’t want to lose hope,
cradle of existence, struggle and love…

That hope…
sometimes fearless, sometimes tender,
sometimes with drops of grudge…
but always full of courage…
