If a soul has wings to soar,
Palaces and shacks ignored.
Ghengis Khan, stay out of sight:
Just two enemies to fight,
...
On a spring-thawed patch,
Little priestling of marsh
Is staying
And saying his prayer.
...
Love Eternity reigning in mires,
Their powers never deplete.
Grassy lands never yield to the fires,
Smallest thickets will stand up the sleet.
...
The more you’re asking for repose,
The more you fear, the more you fear.
The fog is creeping from the fields,
The fog is crawling in your chest.
...
A gust of wind, a howl of snow…
Yet, for a moment, in my mind,
A land, a distant shore, would glow
With faded colours from behind.
