Dec 2014
She runs out of the door
Passing the empty road
Looking right and left and up and down
Walking slowly, desperately
Finding shelter under the evergreen tree

Mother, mother, we scream loudly

But she just sits there tranquilly

Then she says, the ocean... the whisper... can you hear him?

Mother, mother, we say softly
There is nothing, only the wind and the sparrow's cry

Then she says, black sparrow or Sparrow the captain?

Again, she runs
Heading to the town
Reaching the harbor
Looking among those young and old group of men

Have you seen him? She asks the Captain

Madam, madam, the sea was perilous and vicious
He was the bravest and the honest
He was the tiger who roared against  the monsters, the sirens and the gods
He was only a man, unfortunately

Later, she whispers to the sky and the fading sun
Something deep and thoughtful
Something about love and hate
Mother, let him go.
