In Rio de Janeiro
I found you helpless tree -
swaying and dancing in wind,
...
(in reference to G.E.Lessing, Nathan the Wise)
What a wonderful man -
fine, generous and wise,
...
I listened within myself
and heard the sounds of bells.
On wings of birds
and shining gleam
...
Stars are hanging
like glistening pearls
at the bosom of heaven.
The coat of the night
...
On my way to Kanchanabury
To the dead of World War II -
no matter which nation nor race:
...
Two birds
are fluttering through my mind:
a black raven and a white dove.
The black was ruling
...
The guests were talking at a feast
and between the dances
let loose their wit.
...
Since at night
he believed in the morning,
they caught him, executed him.
...
To have a prayer
I went into the church
and shut the door
behind me
...
