Late Spring

Winter’s calling

A vast landscape

before my eyes

Listen to the voice

holding its grip upon the earth

Late spring is coming
Please, let it come to me

Summer Storm

Trembling colors

in the violent sea

A summer storm is upon me

blowing, like a spear of joy

Connecting sea and earth
and me with the sky

Autumn Rain

Glittering

between drops of rain

My skin exposed
to the last light of autumn

Winter’s Tale

Dark drops

trembling in the wind

Mud and dirt
encapsulated in cocoons of light

reflecting the moving sky

A winter’s tale
taking the last breath before dawn

Duration: app. 24 min
