The spring,
sea of branches,
spreads glimmers of fire
among future leaves.

It’s getting late.
Velvet veils
of twilight
pour over peaks.

I draw my sword.
The blade stabs the air
and lets new dreams
cut my shrowds.

It’s time for a change,
immortality
is waiting
beyond the clouds.

Wooden drops
and liquid twigs
mingle
in silent dancing.

Dreams over dreams
stay together as one:
they are quickly
advancing.

I’m going to shout:
“I exist!
That’s enough!”
and let the wind carry me.

Strong wings fill the dusk,
I’m ready to fight,
one step
from eternity.
