Hopes! Poem by Anahit Arustamyan

HOPES!

Hopes! Don't hide yourselves in the illusions' shades!
An illusion is a rainbow's shadow.
What has been swept, a rainbow or my window?
Hopes! How can I close your airy eyelids as you aren't dead?
Hopes! Don't say that God has changed His mind to give my destiny another shape!
Hopes, even if you are illusions don't disappear from my way!
I will not close your tender eyelids until you are dead.
My love is alive and blessed.
Hopes! I feed you every day.
You must not get ill and pass away.
I feed you on my breast milk which I saved for my unborn baby with an angelic face.
I feed you with all my breath.
Hopes! My love is alive but I can't reach his land.
