But I did not know how
The road had been long
I had tried much
But being old is not an answer
...
Only the stars can say
And as they are silent
Who you are
Is silent too-
...
I wait for an incredibly beautiful poem
I know it cannot come from me
My time is almost gone
And I could not write the truly beautiful poem
...
All the years wasted in writing words unworthy of being read
When I remember all the life given to a Hope never to be realized
I nonetheless thank God
That I had the Dreams the Years the Hope
...
It will never die
As we will never die
All those we love will live forever with us
And we will live forever always and also
...
NO, I HAVE NO POEM TODAY
No, I have no poem today
Today the world is my poem
...
NOTHING TOUCHES ME/BUT YOU
Nothing touches me
But you
...
I will say simply,
‘It is because she has been with me all these years’
I will say
‘It is because even in old age and even in sickness
...
The poem of a different kind of life-
But I could write only
What this life gave me-
And this
...
No one can define it-
It is not under the ground
But under under the ground
And it has no ground too-
...
