POEMS WITH RUKENNY

BUILDING A HOUSE

To build a house,

A heart is a site.

Levelled to a foundation of love.

Laid ready for construction.

You'll need bricks

A mixture of limestones and granites of smiles

In a bath of laughing water

It will go a thousand miles

To make your walls stronger.

Walls made with bricks of hope

And impenetrable to pain.

Make the windows gleam

With rays of optimism.

Against the breeze of failure.

Unity is the pillar you need

To hold this house.

Then this house will stand forever

And its rent will be peace of mind.
