Those Signs of the Days

everytime the leaf kissed
the resilient soil
was a day for the roots
to strengthen its unity
with its foundation
everytime a drop of rain touched
the abandoned land
was a day for the sun
to replenish its power
from her sons and daughters
everytime a tear crawled
the tired face
was a moment for her
to mourn their death
to cry for help
everytime a whisper summoned
the excited wind
was a chance for me...
to witness every leaf kiss the soil
to experience every drop of the rain
to feel the heat of the sun
and to hear the cry of my mother
everytime blood painted
the hand of time
was a chance for me
to say i will
