The Ones A Long Time Ago

 

Those who long ago

In hills are lost,

Those who long ago

were no longer in love,

Those whose spirit

has long lived in the frescoes,

Those who long ago

don't remember anything about mistakes,

Those turned into a flower,

In a lake or in trees,

They do not feel and fly

Heat and pain in the legs.

They are happy where they are,

I believe they are happy.

They are turned to dust, to ashes,

But the pencil keeps a secret.

 

Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow

 

The topic is yesterday,

The theme is everything old in me,

The topic is how much it hurts

For the world of past arrows.

A lot of light went there,

I don't know where to return from

Much darkness came out again,

But sometimes it's just a crow.

Yesterday was a splash at sea,

Yesterday was a real checker,

Today is a mirror of the world,

Which still gives birth to autumn.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow they argue with you

And they discover an unprecedented step.

Everything is invented for us,

Even when we are not in class.

 

Every Morning

 

Every morning smells of wheat,

Of sea, of bread and of grass.

Every morning is a flock and a sieve,

Words of the dreams of yesterday.

Every morning touches your breath

With velvet of hopes and in winter

Barefoot paths before the eyes

Fill the new sunrise, there will be colour.

Every morning wakes up the fields

And stir the wild animals,

It broke twigs, It writes a plan of the day,

It strings words in a new couplet.

Every morning the night goes away

And let the day to choose

Every little beautiful particle,

Every atom finds its home.
