THE UNEXTINGUISHED HOPE
On the vast expanse of nature
My soul flies to ward off worries
Harvesting creations
Stepping together toward achievements
With every breath
With every step
I find freedom
To create
"This is the classiest aspiration
As long as there is breath
I charge forward
Striving to reach the stars!"
As high as the sky, I soar
As deep as the sea, I dive
Seeking inspiration to create
With a brave heart
FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
Burning brightly
Urging me to act
Giving me hope
For tomorrow
I have talent
I have hope
I can be a beacon
I believe I can give meaning
Hi, My Generation
Rise up and create
Realize dreams
Make them come true
The soul travels
With a burning fire
That will never extinguish
Rise up! Create
Bring hope
For the nation and the country
Dismiss obstacles
Overcome challenges
I...
Realize dreams
Free to create
The nuances of colors
Paint the soul
Play melodies
Touch the spirit
I am free
Free...
Choose a path
Without shackles
Without fear
Crossing thorns
I stumble
In the darkness
Thrown by time
Because of the hardships
Heart shattered
Obstacles never cease
Burning wounds
Hope fades
Rise up!
Rise up, oh Generation Z
Be the light
Be the inspiration
Do not hesitate to step
Strengthen yourself
Face the future
Let's be free to create
WHISPERING TIME
In the infinite world of letters,
I sailed for a short 15 minutes.
Between the dancing words on the pages,
And the time whispering, "This time is enough."
On the wooden table, books became my companions,
In the library of thoughts, I sailed.
Drops of time, like a light rain,
Moistening the pages with hidden lessons.
The challenge of seeing within 15 minutes,
Time that seems to run without commands.
But amidst the agile seconds,
There is the magic of words greeting.
Disturbances come, notifications sing,
In the battle against distractions, I stand.
In my eyes, a vast small world unfolds,
Yet, with determination, I remain connected.
In the tempting selection of sources,
I choose books as my guide.
Words become an endless sea,
Watering the seeds of knowledge, planting them in the heart.
15 minutes, as if a message from time,
"But, is it enough?" I ask.
Yet, there I find,
That, indeed, every second is valuable.
The experience of literacy, more than just reading,
Poetry is created among the letters.
In my journey in the world of words,
I find countless beauty.
In the chasing 15 minutes,
The light of knowledge illuminates the corners of the heart.
This poem is born from the screen,
As a brief reflection, in the eternal world of literacy
