Promises made,
hopes acquired.
New seeds sown,
a bed of flowers prepared.
A winter passes,
a summer dissolves,
an autumn ceases
to enchant anymore.
A day begins
and ends in vain;
joy gleams at a distance
and sorrow reigns.
A patient wait rusts
in grey; to dust
I fade
Hope still does shy away.

A farmer's poem.

Well, since I grew up on farms, that is what used to happen to us. Even if the crop is disappointing, our hopes never fade. "Next season will be better."

So true!

An entire life in 15 lines! One of your best poems yet, Hurree. I daresay you are becoming a master poet.
