Although I know that silence is the future of
all days I still like to observe beautiful things
like this right now on the street:
orange hot sun above the painted
clouds –
some day we’ll sing the song of salvation,
some day we’ll be shrouded in ashes;
I will count the time that’s left for me ‘till
this moment of the day breaks in hundredths
of a second,
and I will throw my hat in the air
to greet the arriving autumn.
Today…
But tomorrow the sky will be empty.
All the birds had flown to nowhere.
