Speaking to my heart

Far away a lit window

Speaking to my heart

A distant lighted window 

In the night is enough to turn 

My mind to dreaming.

Someone far away from me

At this time of night 

Is awake like me,

But it still doesn't matter 

Who lives there, because

What really matters to me 

Is the direction my dream takes.

That's the direction 

My heart wants to go, 

And looking at that window 

I listen to it,

And I can give it an answer.

I found myself writing this poem of mine in English, perhaps because I feel too isolated in this wretched country of mine, and I feel more hope for my future elsewhere. The whole world is my homeland, after all.
