Days to come

Pinelopi Ntountoulaki · Greece

At a time when roads are empty

and people getting out wear a surgical mask,

you may see a heron dipping its feet into the lake.

Blackbirds, wild pigeons, sparrows fly around—

they sing

sharing their joy with every soul.

The frost gives way to the sun;

uncertainty transforms into expectation.

Then you start thinking:»It’s true that better days shall come!»

PINELOPI NTOUNTOULAKI, Greece
