We Rise! Poem by Agatha Eliza

We shine..our light reflects the magic
of an inner sky known only by us,
and a sea whose dark,
and glowing waves harbour tiny, unseen marvels..


We do not lose our way in the storms
holding hands, in the streets
walking side by side,
fighting the same battle, bearing the same scars.


But we are not here to blend in those
deadly, cold colours of theirs;
We live for the freedom
that unites all beings, pacifies all minds..


They cannot hinder a pure revolution
that gathered us under its flag
with fire in our hearts
'Pulvis et Umbra sumus'..but we will rise!


The wind will carry our essence far and wide
and ancient whispers would utter
'Now! It's your time!
Follow on the footsteps of your dearly ancestor.
