It Is Hope…
Hope
is a risk that must be taken
Georges
Bernanos
It is
hope
that
flashed
in my
eyes
Not a
flame
not a
fire
nor a
tear
That will
stumble about the sleepless
nights
It will
return after a few
grey
days
I Do Not Write When I'm Happy
I do not
write when I'm happy
in joy —
I have no words
Except
sometimes during September
after the
summer — I’m on last legs
Only
spring summer
is my
solace
I will
repay them for this
giving
back to all dreams
I want to
sing dance barefoot
smile to
the stars
Greet
mornings with dew
measure
time by weather
I do not
write when I'm happy
in joy —
I have no words
Except
sometimes during autumn
I grab
for the pen again
Soap Bubbles…
To my
sons
The
deepest sorrow of happiness
is that
everything passes
Leopold
Staff
Soap
bubbles
fabulously
colourful
So
beautiful
but
fragile
All the
same
in a
clear glow
Like the
evanescence of this
inimitable
only
moment
which
will not come back
in the
same form
