Where the Future Blooms
Series: Switzerland Begins Within Us by Valerijana Krasniqi

Poetic Text:

She sits at the edge of the world.
A child. A girl.
Delicate. Awake.
Her feet nearly in the starlight,
her hands holding a rod,
the future suspended in stillness.

But what she catches
is not a fish.
It’s a sign.
A red cloth with a white cross.
A land.
A home.
A promise.

Beside her, a quiet boy.
He does not cling,
he trusts.
He looks toward a place
where words have not yet arrived,
but hearts already understand.

Further back, flowers bloom,
wild, violet, silently beautiful.
A third child,
who says nothing,
only lives.
As if the meadow were a language,
and every step a poem.

The mountains stand like witnesses.
They don’t say much,
but they remind us of everything:
That strength can be quiet.
That home is more than possession.
That children are not meant to follow,
they are born to lead.

This image is no dream.
It is a glance forward.
A prayer without words.
A soft call:

If we honor the future,
it will bloom.
Not someday.
But now,
within us.
