Hope beyond the ashes.”
In the din of a darkened sky,
Where thunder dances with frenzy,
War spreads its dark shroud,
And the world holds its breath alone.
The drums resound, an icy echo,
On red fields, where hope has ceased.
Men advance, blades raised,
Towards a destiny that no one can dream of.
The wind carries the cries of anguish,
Shadows of lost souls that it crushes.
The flashes of day, tarnished with ash,
Reveal only the night to wait.
Ruins smoke, mute witnesses
Of broken stories, consumed dreams.
The ground, soaked with bitter tears,
Keeps the secret of ephemeral lives.
Yet, beyond the dull suffering,
In a corner where silence burbles,
The soft murmur of a dove,
Promises that one day, peace will rise and fall.
Thus the earth, a grieving mother,
Hopes in an awakened renewal.
Under her wounds, finally germinate,
Dreams of a pure and serene world.
