FORMS OF A KEEN
Love a grief
Call a sorrow
Give a place from the bottom of your heart
To a pain
If
It encourages you
To happiness!
***
If you want to see the happiness
In the morning
Face the sun
***
Divide the keen,
Halve it,
Dedicate one of them to your ineffective life,
Keep the other one for the happiness.
***
Keep your tears,
Don’t listen to your heart.
One day it becomes
Pearl and
diamond…
And a happiness!
