A Despair

seeks the fall of a smile
rather on the face grief for a while 
and seeks for, who never bear pain 
disturbs peace and falls like a rain 
where some have sunk their voice 
and some broken down on choice 

I can see this in those hearts mourn 
in murmur of wind, in clock of lone 
when poor caused a sleep by a cry 
and dreams fly to get out of his try 
and length of time increases for quiet 
when life surrenders to fate in fight 

I can see this in those silent tombs 
in white stones stood earth bones 
sorrow songs of soil and breeze 
in silent prayers, in life that frees 
the last sorrow of death is a cure 
which the souls of people endure 

I can see this in those fallen leaves 
when autumn has a call from trees 
a stranger came from far sad village 
to pluck those smiling flowers sage 
it knew its sin but owned by despair 
withered green behind tears layer 

I can see this in those birds of cage 
in sorrowful chirps and wingless gaze 
forgetting those fly a far into the sky 
spring morning and evening now cry 
without presence of birds into arms 
of empty branches and lonely farms
