RAIN AND SUN Poem by Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen

we are weeping over sons we lost
tears are griefs that are condensed

sons are weeping over
brothers lost and daughters weeping

in the sun the flowers spring out
in the rain umbrellas

in the sun the joys spring out
felled by scythe and sagging

sorrows spring out in the sun
shadows stretch themselves so long

tears are griefs that are condensed
laughing is evaporated grieving

as long as we can laugh
then we can also cry
