Optimism is the idea that it not always will rain.
Leave home as soon as you are free,
for everyone comes back again—
just never board a train
without a member of family.
Optimism is the idea that it not always will rain,
that between sea and plain
will forever sprout a city.
For everyone comes back again.
Do not treat land reclaimed
as you would the earth itself. Usually,
optimism is the idea that it not always will rain,
but sometimes it is a plane
in a white sky.
For everyone comes back again,
they return aboard their vessels of love. That is in translation
(from the Maori, a song). See,
optimism is the idea that it not always will rain
for everyone. Come back again.
