Life is the wind that goes through your hair in autumn
It is the air you breathe in spring
It is the longing for summer
And the pain in winter
When one looks into the eyes of friends
They see the life of longing
Longing is everywhere
Longing drives humans to dream
To live
To pursue
To become greater than the people who have preceded them
It is what makes a single mother work for her children
And warms the heart of the fearless soldier
Longing is what gives us dreams
And pushes us further into darkness
Hoping for light
A life that longing helps us pursue
