The Ballad Of What The Wind Said

Eternity may well

Be only a river

Be a forgotten horse

And the cooing

Of a lost dove.

As for the man who distances

Himself from men, the wind comes

Telling him other things now

Opening his ears

And eyes to other things.

Today, I distanced myself from men,

And alone, in this gully,

I began to gaze at the river,

And saw a horse all alone,

And listened all lonely

To the cooing

Of a lost dove.

And the wind came close,

Like someone passing by,

And told me:

Eternity may well

Be only a river

Be a forgotten horse

And the cooing

Of a lost dove.
