 poem for the hopeless 

THERE SHALL BE LIGHT AGAIN

Thy lamentation has reached the inner eyes of heaven 
Thy innermost request is being taken up to the deep of heaven 
As the wind set to drive away all thy sorrow 
Hope, thine ear could listen to the righteous voice of heaven saying; I'll prosper thy morrow. 

Today may be summer 
Tomorrow may be winter 
No season last forever
Opportunity flows like a river 

Today thou may not be useful
Tomorrow may be for thee 
As like basket is useless when it's rainy
So is the mud pot when it's harvesting 

Drink not from thy salty eyes drop water 
But smile to those mountains for ye have a mountain mover 
Ready to fight like a god and pour out fire 
Know to ye, a day can't be opened unless the night is overcome 
Thou shall and must rise again 

Beloved, expect more but do not be greedy 
Continue dreaming and work to let it comes through in reality 
As knowledge lies in the dirt 
And wisdom gathered from the pot of a fool 
Wrong can be corrected through existence of denigration 
A new life can only comes after death
There shall be light again
