Like a shadeless tree
The world around me
Is still appeased
And looks ugly
No one awaits
And often everyone eludes
Thence I face the sun,
Moon and wind alone
No dewdrops emboss on me
For I am not green anymore
No wind blows across
For I am in utter ruin
Rain no more revives me
Nor pleases me the spring
I squizz the night
And gaze at the sky
But all in vain
Neither the night sprinkles its mist
Nor the sky offers shelter
It’s all agony I breathe
It’s earthlessness I feel
My ruins are so enticing
That I stand alone,
Shadeless and leafless
But again
Facing the sky, moon, and the sun
Above the earth
Beneath the sky
I seek my beloved
Who’s been my leaves, my shade and my Earth
Now I search each bit of the Earth
To discover where he rests
My roots keep spiralling
For there’s hope
Of meeting again
Not above the sky
But beneath the beautiful earth
