One night

 The red bright shout of calm sunset is burning
 reflecting in the windows' lucid glass
 and before my eyes are sadly strewing
 thick with black ink of well arranged words
 empty sheets of white paper...
 Barren time's passing like a gentle wind
 that skims the leafs of a bizarre calendar
 ornamented, but lacking days and hours
 jagging the dark blue of the woods' background
 spangled with shiny dots....
 Nothing I doth but wait the stars arising.
 Smoothly in the lonely land's coming the night
 soothing the soul and calling forth the peace.
 While the sound of your breath's filling the room
 longings're pressing and urging, but thou please
 doth not wake from the mistery of this sleep
 that's caressing my wills by wings of silence
