Not an Orphan

I was lost in the darkness of the night
I was freeze in the cold of the snow
My sadness was swallowed by the night
My tears was frozen in the snow
Nothin’ left ‘cept this existence

In the middle of nowhere I walk
Lonely, without anyone in my left nor right
Blind, couldn’t see where I go
I’m left alone without vision in me
I ask rocks, yet they give me nothin’

I just want to fly away, away to the sky
Where the birds play around, where the angels
Sing their angelic praises to The LORD
Or dig down deep into the earth
Where flame burns all of happiness and smile

One step and two steps continued with the third
I saw a bright shinning light came to me
Without asking a question, it took me to the far land
Land of hope where birds sing their song
Land of desire where soul satisfied

I saw a man smile and gave his hand to me
He said that the birds would be my friends
Hope and desire will be my parents
Nature and everything it have will be my sisters
And he himself will be my brother

I woke up in the beautiful pasture of nature
Sun smiles proudly to me and welcomes me
The wind blows around me and whispers
The most beautiful words I never forget
“You are not an orphan anymore”
