Let your words be like a wild flower,

A smile of azure

With a tiny mouth of gold,

In the naked sunshine of a desert,

As blissful as the kiss of a mother

On the forehead of a smiling child.

 

When you talk of life,

It seems as if on the road

We are confronted with a rock,

Unsightly and huge,

Happened to be there

For no known reason,

Unyielding to all solutions.

 

Let your words fly,

Lightly in the sun,

Like butterflies.

 

London, 1 April 2004
