Wintry nights are long and dark
Perhaps too long
When we shiver in cold
And pray that light returns soon .
The time is engulfed in deep darkness
Where shines a few false stars
Claiming to bring light
But throws us all in unfathomable darkness.
And yet they cannot delete our dreams
Nor can they discard our thoughts
For our thoughts are rooted in our
Unerasable identity built in bloody war.
Our victory came in yet another cold evening
The warmth of victory dismissed the winter.
Dark and cold lengthy nights will end again soon
As the spring overruns the woeful winter.
