Dawn

If there is no sunrise, 

And no dawn, only darkness

And you are closed in a dismal dungeon

Knees together, forehead placed

There is no one to hear you cry.

After all, everyone cries,

There is nothing new in crying 

And happiness like never existed 

Is this life? 

For once, open the window,

See the sun crossing the horizon 

Wind touching and whispering love, 

Grasses and trees swaying merrily,

There is no darkness but light 

You throw yourself out of the dungeon,

And you fly higher and higher.
