The water of Hope

THE MOTIVATION

OR

THE WATER OF HOPE

IN THE WONDERFUL SUNSHINE ABOVE

WALKING ALONG THE DESERT I WAS

WITHOUT A DROP OF WATER TO DRINK,

WITHOUT A NIBBLE OF FOOD.

I WAS WALKING ALONE IN THE SAND

TO FIND AN OASIS OF HOPE

THE MIRAGE IMAGES FORMED BEYOND

MY SIGHT BETRAYED MY BRAIN AND

MY HEART COULD NOT BELIEVE ANYMORE,

IN THE SADNESS OF THIRST AND

THE IMMENSE HEAT WHEN I WAS

ABOUT TO COLLAPSE AND FALL,

BEFORE CLOSING MY EYES , I SAW

YOU QUIETLY STANDING BESIDE

WITH THE WATER OF HOPE

YOU CAME IN LIKE AN ANGEL

IN A FAIRYTALE AND SHOWED ME

THE WAY AGAIN, YOU GAVE ME BACK

MY LIFE WITH THE DESIRE TO LIVE AGAIN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW, WHEN & WHERE

YOU MOTIVATED MY SOUL, WHEN

DID I START TO DREAM AGAIN?

I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT CHANGED ME AGAIN,

YOUR PRESENCE OR THE WATER OF HOPE.

BUT NOW I AM SURE IN LIFE

THAT WITH EVERY DARK NIGHT FOLLOWS

A RAY OF HOPE AND WHEN A WARRIOR

IS DEFEATED ONCE IN A WAR, SOMEBODY

STANDS TO REBUILD HIM,

WITH THE WATER OF HOPE..................
