the words reached out
like willing hands towards us:
wait
see, you are young,
see your narrow shoulders,
your unfinished features –
see life stands timidly
like a stranger among you –
hear the quick steps of your thoughts,
when they flee each other,
and wait –
do you now let your words
storm out over the world,
to disturb the calm of people,
tomorrow you will attempt to lure them back in vain –
we doubted –
