Life and death

Birds sing awakes calm earth.
The spring is bursting in
the town and dull lofts
are brighter in sun gleam.

No one can stop the spring.
Soft warm melts down snow banks
and countless silver springs
rush, crushing icy traps.

The church's awoken bell
is ringing for dead one.
The death looks very strange,
when nature starts new life...

AW: The coming death puts mask on paling face.
     It is so sad to see the last life days,
     knowing beforehand the sad parting time.
     Brain knows... but heart can't say for all goodbye...


                After...
                to mother-in-law

The Monday talk assuaged uneasy soul.
The nineteenth of the august will turn back
you in this world, but only heavens know
whether we see you once again one day.

The birth place is too far. The sea waves will
sing you calm lullabies by starry nights.
Who truly knows will you remember still
your lovely family from the gone life?
