From four sides of the world
From roads of rowan trees
Where forest burnt
And wind’s worn out
Where night and front
Where unharvested corn
Where desiccated leaves
Day begins
Sun will invite us to hug her arms
Behold: the land heavy with blood
Will once again bear us fields of wheat
Golden dune
Women will take us inside their house
Behold: through worst tears they will laugh
Again on the dance floor we’ll move our feet
Maybe soon
In a day, in two,
In a night, in three,
But not now
In a day, and night
This too will pass
Sun will rise
Ovens will soon bake us fresh, warm bread
Behold: There where was only smoke,
Flowers will sew up the war’s remains
Grass will grow
Some day our children will shake their heads
Behold: they will laugh that their folks
Talk once again of these cruel days,
Time of storms
