千羽鶴 Glimpses of hopes (ten words) Poem by Elena Sandu
千羽鶴 Glimpses of hopes (ten words)
Tears of broken
Hopes
Patiently folded:
The thousand
Cranes
Row.
An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. Senbatsuru are also folded as a wish for peace(Sadako and a thousand cranes) .
