It's the time when the mangoes fall

Overripe and forsaken

Like the fruit of a pregnant womb

Having nowhere to go

The juicy nectar of troubles

Thickly drips down on my heart

In the grievances of the season

I won't die anymore

It's the time when my load turns sweet

Eaten up and resentless

When the heat slowly and viscously dies

Leaving burnt houses' rubbish behind

(Wooden structure turned firescar

But today it's a new life)

It's the time when the sea turns tangy

Ready to carry the leaving

When sea and soul are in honeymoon

And dream is lying with dream

It's the time when the stranded freight gives way

And a path to the living

Shadow fought shadow and both fell in the war

But it was taking and giving

It's the time when the sailing ships

Break away from their courses

When the sea sets her jewels free

And seagull's ride on wind's arm

It's a time to sing and rejoin the silence

In corals' smiling hearts

When every minute tastes of tomorrow

And the eye's horizon is wide

A time when yesterday is free of regrets

And tomorrow's haven is open

When the future is free of fear

For what happened must be

It's the time when my heart smiles and sings

And I do not know why
