I.
living on an edge
the side of a chocolatebar
yet it is melting
-
II.
a sringprocession
cleansing winds whisking along
blazing the houses
-
III.
all silence that night
yonder distance lifelike near
all in same breathing
-
IV.
water kept water
vast silence in space above
all is here and cold
-
V.
nature sleeps breathless
trees stil bald bulls within mists
spring is approaching
-
VI.
all stars are above
all close yet infinite far
the lake starts to freeze
-
VII.
descending moonlight
carressing earth so tender
when you arive here
-
VIII.
fresh snow from last night
whitewashed lands under the sun
new waterdrop times
