I Want To Believe
written by: Maria Dulce Leitão Reis
I’m flying errant
on the wings of hope…
I cross black clouds
laden with rain.
Others however
So cute and fluffy
like cotton wool.
I feel like rolling on them
but I’m afraid of falling
in free fall.
No matter where
nor where I go.
In this time of uncertainty,
all places are the same.
corpses and more corpses
wherever I turn.
I can’t kiss the ground
I can’t kiss the flowers …
Death brought a friend …
I want to believe
that the stay will not be long.
They are “persona non grata”
they only do damage.
If they insist on staying
there will be no human breed.
I want to believe
That the stay will not be long!
I’m flying errant
on the wings of hope…
Maybe land on a safe beach…
A sunny beach!
Where the sands
are not contaminated
or on top of a mountain
where pure and fresh air blows!
I’m flying errant
on the wings of hope…
I was born in Portugal, in the centre of the country. I have two children. I’m retired. I worked in accountancy and I was Businesswoman of Restoration and Fashion. I am living in England since 2006. I am a co-author of 56 Anthologies of Poetry, Prose and Children's Stories and 7 solo books in Portuguese, translated to English. The dream of publishing solo became true. Reading, writing, sudoku, photography, gardening are some of the things I love most. I'm a lover of nature. I fight injustice, inequality, discrimination and violence in every way. I believe in love and peace, vehicles to make the world more balanced, more attractive, where everyone will live joyous and happy. Poetry is an amazing and wonderful force! And it is in this force that I seek the breath to move on and it gives me joy and serenity to live life with sweetness! Poetry is the soul and prolongs me in the dream and draws me closer to God! Poetry is the air I breathe! It is the sap that circulates in my veins and brings fire and passion to every corner of my being! Poetry is love! Poetry is life! Poetry is my bread and my stick!
