“It is time at last for the wanderer
To don a garment of many colors.
And to direct the burning thought
To repeat the sacred script of clouds.
In the embers of the sunset’s fire
To temper the heart like hardened iron.
It will shine, grow strong as it used to —
If once more it is bathed in sunlight.“
– Lilija Mulevičiūtė Tomkienė
