Golden Tree

When summer arrives

all the windchimes communicate

with the autumn wind.

It is a sound, I appear to hear

when the mind is busy doing nothing.

You may hear the beautiful sound

of sheep in fields of evening,

my youth gave me the light over a world,

I’ve been watching.

In the middle, water beams through a landscape,

forgotten by a tree.

It shines in the evening, when people go asleep.

The magician lost her white hair,

grey does not breathe.

It is the hand of a wizard,

which was the foolest foolish fool on earth,

I can assure.

The child smiles and laughs

while a small bird drinks down to her feet.
