Kindness delayed
Knocks on dirty windows
With curtains frayed
Shielding vanquished esteem
Brightness repaid
Among weeping willows
With sun will fade
Like does dime's golden gleam
Many a tear
A man's life do alter
Piling up years
For a funeral pyre
In name of fear
Every other fool falters
Unlike the sear
Setting memories on fire
Gabriela Duricova
