Winter Day
Shadi Ghazimoradi
What can you do
When it hurts to look back
When you think of all that came
All you lost, all you had.
All the games you played
All the footprints left empty
All the hallow promises
All the shadows of a fantasy.
What can you do
When you look ahead
To something that had no beginning,
How can you put an end?
For at the end of the tunnel
There seems to be no light
Only a shimmering reflection
Of what could, what might be
What can you do
When the only one who can stop your tears
Is the one who made you cry
And gave face to your fears.
What can you do
When the sweet-scented rose
It too, seems to scream
And bites you with its thorns.
When the ocean seems to cry
The wind howls in pain
When fire burns your joy
When clouds cry in rain
As bitter as it may be
It’s the sweet truth of life
It lies under every breath
Every tear, every smile.
But this, too, will pass
The sun follows the rain
Only the power of love
Can tear apart the chain.
So say what you will
And do what you may
But what can you do
On that lonely winter day?
