Sonnet

Полина Кочина
How can a helpless firefly reach a star?
How can a drop of water start a storm?
How can a little sparrow fly as far
As birds of passage fly to where it's warm?

How can a pawn deny the game of chess
And rule the others' destinies with pride?
How can a seven-letter word express
A feeling that a human has inside?

How can a carefree newborn child reveal
The meaning of our lives, the wrongs and rights?
How can a beggar go through an ordeal
That's only meant for armed courageous knights?

Still, all in vain, like them, and just as weak,
Without a map, a way to thee I seek.
