Dont despair, not even over the fact that you dont despair.
Just when it seems that all is over, new forces come to your assistance after all,
and just that means that you are alive.
A heavy downpour of rain. Stand and face the rain,
let its steel rays pierce you,
float in the water that wants to carry you with it,
but hold fast all the same,
just stand up straight and wait for the sudden and endless shining of the sun.
