When you sing aloud
With this beautiful voice
Onto the sky above
I see the clouds gathering
Flowing in like waves of fur
To listen this soothing song
I see them bend a little
To stretch their arms
Raining on this plant
I see this red rose
Opening its eyes to the whole world
But why cant you sing all the year long
To keep the roses as red as they are
I gently questioned the voice
I do but, she answered
But there's my sisters singing far from here
Louder than me, but beautiful as mine
One sing of sacrifice following my voice
She sings of divinity in nature
Stopping the roses to grow in vanity
It sings of hands that can hold
The pride in us,
It sings of legs that can walk us
The lanes of an extrovert
And that makes the roses wither
Falling down to kiss the mother
Taking down the leaves to offer
This mother a gift of love for her labor.
And then sing louder another sister
A song of sustain In the times of essential pain
She sings of tolerance that can hold
One's ability to live without everything
She sings of silence that can weld
The gaps of survival and living
Covering the plant with its blanket
Of snow and pain
The roses die soon
Before the song ends
Just when this makes me cry
My elder sister sings of anger
She sings of revenge and fury
And when she sings louder than anyone
The evil clouds run away with fear
Letting the sun hit the soil hard as ever
The blanket tears down into pieces
And the grief hides behind the rocks
The voice cries with great responsibility
Like of a father towards child
Like of a teacher towards student
It wakes up the inner souls
Waiting to die in the corners
Of mind,soul and faith
But as the voice is heard
They come out for its warmth
Breaking down the soil hard
My angry sister would only listen to me
When I urge to calm down
As I begin to sing the song of happiness
She stops and listens to me
And smiles forgetting the revenge
She dances to me and gifts me a ring
Everyday in colors of blue,red and orange
I wear it everytime it lets the sun kiss me
To show it bliss as the roses come back
As I sing day and night with torrents
The roses dance to my voice
Like a war that bow its head to a peace
The voice ends its answers
And wait for me to decide my choice
It says there is no end to this fight of songs
For every pride should see a fall
Every fall should endure the pain
Every pain should teach a lesson
And every lesson should give us happiness
The voice continue to sing
As I open my face to every drop
It rains on me
Like it does on those red roses.
