Evening poem


from the ABC set WHEN YOU'RE QUIET, EVERYTHING IS QUIET

Time is hiding in my dreams
uncut diamonds filled with rays
capsules full of virgin forests
lakes of joy and streams of knowledge

Time is playing with two nymphs
free and dauntless, without needs,
chased around like little kids
giggling on god’s doorstep

When I sleep I find some solace
when I wake I am his nightmare
I don’t hide and I don’t play
I don’t know much I’m afraid

At his mercy all my life
death has made the deal so fine
in accordance with my moments
time is finite, fate and all that

Almost zen for almost no-one.
