HOPE OF PEACE
Little flower
Pushes up her head
Timid
Tender
Announcing
The onset of Spring

Little flower
Courageous
Dares pierce
The hard earth
The shrubs
Hidden under snow

Little flower
Symbol of hope
Bends her head
To the March wind
Blowing the clouds
And dispersing them

The March wind
Threatening
The coming of Spring

The March wind
Wiping out
Spilled blood

The March wind
Crying:
"Peace, peace
Oh, please!"
