Verse Recalled
Pond
RI Kohr
Pond
Late that night
We continued talking under the dim light
The plateaus we passed through, the long mountain foothills
The mountains we crossed
And that miraculous pond
Tomorrow we will descend the mountain and our daily lives will begin again
All will disappear into the dust of the city
Nevertheless
Something that cannot be erased
To the unending future
This year
Once again
After more than a generation
The aim was to reach that blue pond
I stopped at a shop that didn't exist before
At the widow
The fleeting summer flowers of the mountains
were spreading in full bloom
My beloved
Time
The time has come
Appears in pairs
Now becomes
A word
Just a word
Just to receive a word
Singlemindedly
you have been waiting for ever
