Analysis of Roots of Hope



The hope
composed of many words
is false.
If you want to stand firmly
on the ground,
remember,
that you were born here
and from here
you will depart
to your ancestors.

About this poem

In this reflective piece, I contemplate the nature of hope and its foundation. I realize that hope based solely on words is deceptive and fleeting. To maintain a strong and grounded presence in life, I must remember my origins and acknowledge my inevitable return to the ancestral realm.
