Grandma never told me about Volcanoes...

Grandma never told me in her stories

How the Volcanoes are formed.

Grandma's God created only good things

The Green, the Sun, Rivers, life...

God created Adam's and Eve's heart

From the calmness of Pishon river*.

But without nobody knowing

Fires started erupting in their hearts

Life is like a river on fire these days

Do you feel something burning inside you?

Small or big, yellow or red...It’s burning

But we all show a calm volcano face.

Volcanoes opened their heavenly calmness

To embrace the pains and fires of our tears... 

Ages together it’s embracing our confessing hearts

Grandma never told me about Volcanoes...
