*****

Vanwa Mela

When all hope is gone, you put faith and trust in those who love you.

When all courage is conquered, you shelter in the arms of those who love you.

But when they are gone, what do you do?

When your strength is crushed, you are supported by those who love you.

When the fire of your spirit is burnt out, you are warmed by those who love you.

But when they are gone, where do you go?

A heart of ice and stone has replaced the one o once loved with.

Sorrow and grief weigh heavy on my heart as I think of that which is lost.

Alone, loveless, pain stricken, heart broken.

To knowingly and freely desert a loved one is to knowingly and freely lose faith in all that is good and offer oneself to Úmëa.
