A cloudy sky

I always thought

it was, it is a privilege

that clouds are in the sky.

If I ever thought, would think

that a holder needs a candle inside,

I lost it.

A book needs literature

to be forgotten, for what poetry is

without a serious poet.

The sun, the moon and stars are free

in our universal sky

in my way of day by day.

Rain is needed, sun is more

than enlightenment

in the richness of a silent smile.
