(Poem) Morning Star by Maya Daniel

I guess, you have tasted

The sweetness of the rain;

Feeling the coldness of

December mornings in the countryside;

I guess, you are used to have a long list

Of things to do, day by day,

Weeks and months, and learn

To throw away, garbage manners

Taking your time long, and value

What is more relevant now.

How many peasants

Did you meet today for a cause?

Had you notice the priceless smiles

The hugs they offered you?

The simple food on the table

And the packed lunch

One of the Nanays had prepared

For you to bring?

You did not expect it, right?

They love you, for having

you as one of their daughters

Keeping their homes warm,

Keeping their hearts enkindle with hope

You are a morning star

Keeping your promise

To be with them,

In their revolutionary struggle

Longing to be free.
