Winter has fallen into the land
Autumn leaves covered with frost
The hedgehog dresses its foliage camp
The squirrel buries golden nuts.
Darkness eats up late midday light
It is down time for my hopes
Will dumbness wrap them in the night
Or will love throw me an anchor rope?
On the unmoved scale of waiting
Time is an merciless enemy of life
And intransigence is more cruel than hating
It balances dignity on the edge of a knife.
Oh, winter has fallen into my heart
Covered my cheeks with frozen pearls
I am standing naked in a world apart
Holding my breath for love to swirl.
